[[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground forces use a type of '''light amplifying device''' 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.
