A '''Covenant Light Amplifier''', also known as a '''Plasma torch''', is a light amplifying device used by [[Covenant]] forces to increase visibility in low light environments and locations which feature dense terrain. They have been encountered by [[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. | 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.

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. | ||
