-A **Light Node** make it possible to connect to a remote Full Node (whether it is your own Full Node, or someone else's publicly provided), in order to get the latest state of the network, most importantly fetching two transactions for validation which are required for issuing a transaction.
+A **Light Node** does not store the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:tangle|Tangle]] and you don't need any neigbours.
+You just need to select a host (e.g. ''https://node.tangle.works:443'') which is a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:f:full|full node]] itself. This host provides your [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:w:wallet|wallet]] with all the necessary information to make transaction.
