Light onion, for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulb

I believe this is a double definition.

'light' is the first definition.
(bulb is a kind of light)

'onion for example' is the second definition.
(onion is a kind of bulb)

(Other definitions for bulb that I've seen before include "A tulip grows from one" , "Tulip, for example" , "From which a tulip or light comes" , "This provides light" , "Eg, hyacinth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
