They are rod shaped, with the top holding a sphere, which is essentially the bulb. It had a handle and could 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 (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]]. | A '''Covenant Light Amplifier''' 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. | ||

They are rod shaped, with the top holding a sphere, which is essentially the bulb. It had a handle and could 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 (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== | |||
*Light staffs resemble the staffs carried by the Pfhor in [[Bungie]]'s earlier game ''[[Marathon]]''. | |||
*Though the Covenant Light Amplifier 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. | |||
