ICONS RPG - Elemental Control - Light - Moving?

I'm having a time trying to figure out how this might work.

Being able to "move" light:

Moving: You can use Elemental Control to lift and move objects of your chosen element, and possibly others as well, by using the element as a medium. You do so with Strength equal to your Elemental Control level.

Far as I can tell, a person can cut/paste light sources, but what other kinds of tricks or stunts could be possible?

Energy constructs?

I always assumed that was the schtick with green lantern rings (or yellow, etc...) using obvious sources of light to create illusions that have a physical presence ala holo deck and even not so obvious after all it doesn't say you can manipulate only visible light as there's quite a range to select from since you're only really limited to either what you can perceive or whats present if you can generate light yourself.

Holographic illusions, cloaking yourself to appear as literally anyone, handy with the disguise or acting skill, imagine having some kind of Hollywood special effects skill ala Mysterio from Spiderman except you don't need gadgets to pull this off unless your origin is gizmo related.

Turn an area invisible or make it look anything other than it actually is ala the Shadow, have the independence day spaceship turn up above the city everyone will be rubbernecking rather than paying attention to you and noone can touch the darn thing since its always out of range and maybe is that darn big!!!

Invisible floors after all if you can manipulate light whats stopping you from negating the light on a surface?

Oh look that staircase leads into a room and the bad guys chase someone inside only to discover it leads outside and straight into and over a fire escape...

I remember a light bridge being mentioned in Star Wars if that helps...
