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.
