A '''Covenant Light Amplifier''', also known as a '''Plasma torch''', is a light amplifying device used by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces 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 Empire|Covenant]] encampments and sometimes ships. These devices are portable enough for Covenant troops to move them from camp to camp, or camp to ship.

==Appearances==
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 the first [[Halo]] game, 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 the original [[Halo]] game they emitted an actual plasma flame, while in [[Halo 3]] they extend slightly and then emit a soft blue light.

==Trivia==
*Covenant Light Amplifiers bear slight resemblance to the staffs carried by the Pfhor in [[Bungie]]'s earlier game ''[[Marathon]]''.
*Though the Covenant Light Amplifier is utilized by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops, when any [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces penetrate the staff's radius it will prop itself up and "light" the way for them.
