The Highlight tool is often used in conjunction with NEXT uber_tool_artboards_light_next.png and PREV uber_tool_artboards_light_prev.png to identify lights when a full look is on the stage already. When you turn on Highlight, regardless of the lights current intensity, it will be temporarily brought to full, it's color will be forced to white and if there are any gobos or shutters in the light, they will be opened. If you are positioning the light, you can still use the Position tools to get it in the right place, then either NEXT to the next light or turn off Highlight by touching it again. All color and shape attributes will be released to their current cue state as will the light's intensity.

The Lowlight tool is used mostly when trying to finely adjust the position of a light and you're already sitting in a cue. When you touch Lowlight, any non-selected light that is in the cue will have its intensity temporarily taken to 20% and the selected light will go to full. All color and shape attributes are not affected. It should then be easy to see the light you're working with and adjust its position. Then either NEXT uber_tool_artboards_light_next.png to other lights or turn off Lowlight by touching it again.
