Lumos, Harry Potter’s signature spell, was created by J. K. Rowling to provide light in the Harry Potter books.
The “Lumos” charm can be used to make the tip of a wand glow. It is a very practical spell, which can not only illuminate your surroundings, but also allow you to focus on tasks that require using both hands. The counter-charm for these spells is “Nox”, which stops the light from emitting from a wand.
Lumos, Latin for “light,” is used in all Harry Potter series to provide light in dark places.
As with this charm, Harry Potter lamps are a great way to bring the magic of Harry Potter into your home.
As of the moment, I am reading the Harry Potter books to my kid, who likes the series very much, to the point that he wishes for Harry Potter merchandise. Reading the Harry Potter books and watching its movies together are the perfect bonding we have established.

There are also Harry Potter light switches and Harry Potter lampshades, so you can have the illumination you want. Whether you want a soft glow or a strong spotlight, there is something out there for you!
