'''''Lumos Solem''''' was the [[incantation]] of a [[charm]] used to conjure a very bright, narrow beam of light, which may be potentially be warmer than normal light.
'''Lumos Solem''' is a spell that causes a beam of light. It is possible that the quality of the light is on the warmer solar end of the spectrum; Considering the known uses that the spell has been put to, it isn't that much of a stretch to presume that the spell is used to conjure Sunlight. Used by [[Hermione]] to free [[Ron]] from the [[Devil's Snare]].
