What is a "very light"? (fairy light??)

A K LA J

照明彈
內含藥劑與小型抗熱降落傘,於預設的高度開傘使其滯空時間延長,同時點燃內含藥劑,內含藥劑燃燒時可以產生強光,供夜間戰鬥短暫照明。

A modern illumination shell has a time fuze which ejects a flare 'package' through the base of the carrier shell at a standard height above ground (typically about 600 metres), from where it slowly falls beneath a non-flammable parachute, illuminating the area below. The ejection process also initiates a pyrotechnic flare emitting white or 'black' infrared light. Typically illumination flares burn for about 60 seconds. These are also known as starshell or star shell.
