== Description ==
The [[Luminoth]] began by experimenting with the idea of overloading Dark creatures with the [[Dark Beam]], however this failed so they moved on to developing the '''Light Beam''', which proved to be a far more effective weapon against the [[Ing]]. As with the other ammunition beams in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can charge the beam when out of ammo to fire a normal shot. The '''Light Beam''' shares similar properties with the [[Plasma Beam]] from ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime: 3 Corruption]]'', and uses the same [[arm cannon]] shape as the [[Wave Beam]] from ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and the [[Nova Beam]] from ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.


The '''Light Beam''' can activate [[dimensional rifts]] on [[Dark Aether]] and causes great damage to Dark creatures. It can also open [[White Doors]]. It also has the ability to energise [[Light Crystals]] and Beacons, expanding their radius and damaging any [[Ing]] within.
