Alan of Lille on the Celestial Hierarchy: the attributes of the different choirs of angels, their roles in the spiritual paths and correlatives in the human order, as well as the attributes and roles of the fallen Antiangels in causing disorder for humanity.
The higher ranks of angels absorb light by adoring God, and thus pass on the light to the lower ranks of angels who do the same, but if an angel turns away from God, he no longer absorbs light, and no longer passes light on, but becomes a source of darkness for the lower ranks.
This is from the Paulist Press volume on 'Angelic Spirituality'. There were a few switches that happened From Dionysius through Gregory the Great to Bonaventure, etc.
