| | '''The Covenant light Amplifier''' is a devices that have been encountered by [[UNSC]] troops when invading [[Covenant]] encampments. It has been theorized that the Covenant simply use these light amplifiers to increase visibility in low light environments but confirmation has yet to be available. |

| The '''Covenant light staff''' is a type of light amplifying device used by the [[Covenant]] and other [[Covenant remnants|related factions]] to increase visibility in low light environments and locations which feature dense terrain. They have been encountered by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] troops when assaulting Covenant encampments and sometimes ships. These devices are portable enough for Covenant troops to move them from camp to camp, or camp to ship.

| ==Description==
| |
| They are rod shaped, with the top holding a sphere, which is essentially the bulb. It has a handle and can be activated by a switch near the top on the side of the handle opposite the bulb. It can be found on the first Halo game dotted all around the level [[Assault on the Control Room]]. They have been in use since ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', but have had slight differences in appearance. They operate by emitting a blue plasma glow whenever they detect motion nearby, conserving energy by automatically shutting off once the motion leaves the immediate area.
| |
| | |
| There are minor differences between the versions; in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', they emitted an actual plasma flame, while in ''[[Halo 3]]'' they extend slightly and then emit a soft blue light.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Covenant light staffs bear slight resemblance to the staffs carried by the Pfhor in [[Bungie]]'s earlier game ''[[Marathon]]''.
| |
| *Though the light staff is utilized by Covenant troops, when any UNSC forces penetrate the staff's radius it will prop itself up and "light" the way for them.
