They emit a bright, white light and are often used in battle or during missions to provide illumination.

    Explanation
    After Simon was attacked by the vampires who brought him to the institute in City of Ashes, Rapheal is the one who helps Simon by giving him his blood to drink, which saves Simon's life.
