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.

Ida Scott used a globe to light up Krop Tor's core. (DW: The Impossible Planet, The Satan Pit)
