Theres a resistor I used in the past but I don't know what its called. It has a red body with no bands on it ie no lines and it stays cool in high power applications. Does anyone know what it is called? Thanks

It's probably called a "Power Resistor".

Life is like a roll of toilet paper; the closer it gets to the end, the faster
it goes.
If Dave called it right, it's more brown than red. It's also visibly hollow. Anything look familiar?

Good grief ! 40+ years ago I used to have a copy of that page pinned to the wall behind the bench to remind me of the value of the colours !
