Trivia
- The item's name is a portmanteau of two words, the first being "filament" (the wire in the bulb) and the second being either "elemental" (fitting the Pyro's fire-based nature) or "mental" (which describes the Pyro's pyromania and insanity).
- The item's description references Clairol hair product's advertising slogan "Only her hairdresser knows for sure."
- The item's description references "War of the Currents",a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems（Alternating Current and Direct Current）in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
