In some [[SCA]] [[kingdom]]s, '''light fighter''' or '''light''' refers to a [[fencing\|fencer]] or [[rapier]] fighter. The use of the term is subject to extensive variation, and is not used at all in many Kingdoms.

	*In [[Lochac]] the term is used to describe [[combat]] [[engineer]]s, [[Banner Bearer\|banner bearer]]s, [[scout]]s, missile combatants (such as [[archer]]s). ~~Unlike~~ [[~~heavy fighter~~]]s, lights don't do [[melee]] combat with [[rattan]] [[weapon]]s. Hence, they ~~have~~ less of a need for more than the [[minimum armour]]. Therefore, a light ~~will~~ have "lighter" armour than the normal heavy. For this reason, they ~~must~~ be clearly distinguished from heavy fighters during [[mixed battles]], so their [[helm]]ets ~~bear~~ either a large fluorescent triangle or a clearly visible [[plume]]. [[Lochac]] favours the plume method.		*In [[Lochac]] the term is traditionally used to describe [[combat]] [[engineer]]s, [[Banner Bearer\|banner bearer]]s, [[scout]]s, missile combatants (such as [[archer]]s). Originally, in the [[SCA]] lights don't do [[melee]] combat with [[rattan]] [[weapon]]s. Hence, they had less of a need for more than the [[minimum armour]]. Therefore, a light would have "lighter" armour than the normal heavy. For this reason, they had to be clearly distinguished from heavy fighters during [[mixed battles]], so their [[helm]]ets bore either a large fluorescent triangle or a clearly visible [[plume]]. [[Lochac]] favours the plume method.
⚫	*In [[Caid]] the term represented [[Shinai]] fighters, a fighting form that has been disbanded since [[A.S. XXXVIII]].

			:The present SCA [[combat handbook\|combat rules]] do not distinguish between archers and melee combatants on the field, so any combatant could be struck by a rattan weapon. Thus, the "light" armour aspect is no more. However, in [[Lochac]] the [[conventions of combat\|convention]] of marking [[archery]]-only combatants by a plume (and not striking them) is maintained. They can still be "killed" by a nearby fighter indicating that the archer is their target and they are now dead. No weapon contact is required. This is similar to the "[[death from behind]]" method allowed in some [[war scenario\|scenarios]].
