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:
<svg viewBox="0 0 440 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="distantLight1">
<feDiffuseLighting>
<feDistantLight elevation="0" />
</feDiffuseLighting>
</filter>
<filter id="distantLight2">
<feDiffuseLighting>
<feDistantLight elevation="45" />
</feDiffuseLighting>
</filter>
<circle cx="100" cy="100" r="80" filter="url(#distantLight1)" />
<circle cx="340" cy="100" r="80" filter="url(#distantLight2)" />
