Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
The elevation attribute specifies the direction angle for the light source from the XY plane towards the Z-axis, in degrees. Note that the positive Z-axis points towards the viewer of the content.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
