			* '''Deflector''' - Considered an entirely optional component for non-weaponized models, it prevents surges of intense hardlight from flaking off towards he wielder. Deflectors are thermally stable enough to cause opposing hardlight blades from severing the emitter. When the blade is withdrawn, it can even be used as a small shield to absorb or deflect ranged laser, energy or hardlight projectiles, as made famous during '''Hop Civil War'''.

	Early weaponized hardlight models suffered from "cold start" sputtering issues, where the emitter can short out if low on charge during ignition. This can also occur or if the hardlight makes contact with other hardlight surfaces for too long. This is worsened if the hilt is cold, such as in space or on worlds with poor starlight.

	The '''GloLite''' is an invention of the hopfolk on '''[[Karrots]]''' during the earliest period of recorded history, used for converting energy into light or hardlight. Most GloLites are meant to be worn on clothing, attached to vehicles or held in the paw. They are typically organically-powered or use planetary elements forged into cells for power. Most can light up a sizeable area in a complete circle for several [[Orbit\|microrbits]].

	The '''[[Grand Sop Army]]''' designed a version to emit hardlight for warfare later on. The hardlight they produce has minimal thermal radiation when powered on. Versions turned into weapons are extremely hot, hence the powerful luminosity, but allow the edge of the hardlight blade/seam to cut objects cleanly. Weaponized versions have been rebuilt to create weapons using hardlight edges to inflict physical, thermal injury on hostiles or cut surfaces of structures. These changes are ideal for wartime and security. GloLite weaponry is usually inert unless a Hoppist with an authorized ribbon is nearby, emitting a wireless signal to engage its power cell fully and ignite from the emitter.
