The clear brightness of 奐

奐 is a 表外漢字, hyougai (rarely used) kanji.  But it's got two commonly used descendants.

奐(かん):clear/bright.  Looks like a lamp on a table, with the bulb clear/bright enough to see the wiring.
喚 (かん):yell.  Which is what you'll do if you stick your hand on that hot bulb.
換 (かん):interchange/convert/replace.  That's what your hand can do to a light bulb.
