✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Perfect for screenshot lovers who want well-lit faces without fiddling with ENB or lighting mods.
- Works on NPCs and creatures, so you can light up any subject in your shots.
- Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may not be compatible with the latest game version.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the spell is added to your spell list automatically or if you need to use the console to add it—common for utility mods.
- Test on a NPC first to see the effect before using it on your character.
- If the mod doesn't work, verify your game version matches the mod's last update (2018).
