E-083 appears as a regular antique wired lamp with a cover on the top to prevent much light from coming out anywhere but the bottom and top.
Like any lamp, it can be plugged in and be turned on or off to emit light from the bulb inside, the bulb however cannot be broken or dismounted, as if it were a part of the lamp itself. When having the lamp nearby, it seems to affect technology from computers and mobile devices to radars and anything that requires electricity. One common effect that E-083 will have is flipping the screen upside down, making it harder to see.
However, E-083 has been used in some regular capture and re-capture missions, as it seems to scare other entities who are either sensitive to the light or entities that can be considered "shy". When not being used, it's to be placed into a box that fits the lamp with the box entirely covered in insulators or anything capable of preventing electricity from reaching other electrical equipment.
