Gravity globe
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A gravity globe, or grav globe, was a human device to provide massive illumination. It could be sent aloft under its own power so that it would "hang" at a set height and provide light in a large space. Grav globes were particularly useful in large caves.
