Switch lit up bulb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tulip

'bulb' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'switch lit up' is the wordplay.
'switch' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lit'+'up'='litup'
'litup' with letters rearranged gives 'TULIP'.

(Other definitions for tulip that I've seen before include "Plant at the centre of the Dutch financial bubble of 1637" , "Spring-blooming plant" , "cause of mania once" , "Spring-flowering plant" , "Plant, it's name shares an origin with turban" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
