Lumos

Lumos was a spell that lighted the point of the beholder's wand, enabling the mage to see clearly in the darkness. The Wand-Extinguishing Charms (Nox) have been used to snuff the glow from the caster's wand as a counter-charm for the spell.

The Wand-Lighting Charm (Lumos) was one of the simplest but most helpful light-creation spells. Its primary purpose was to generate a flame at the tip of the wand to aid with night vision. This light was rather warm, and if someone was negligent enough, they risked setting fire to combustible objects, even the caster's wand.

Wand light was also capable of repelling ghosts and other ghostly adversaries such as Gytrashes, who would flee. Additionally, the Wand-Lighting Magic was capable of illuminating and revealing magically concealed architectural features such as entrances. While the caster had to possess a wand to execute the charm, they did not need to wield it to light it. Yes, if the mage performed the charm while not clutching their wand, it would light up regardless of its distance from the caster.
