Abstract: The light-time effect (LITE) is a well-known phenomenon and traditional tool for study of multiple stellar systems. Its role in modern stellar astrophysics is briefly reviewed. Several examples of LITE and its combination with other effects are demostrated in O-C diagrams of three early-type eclipsing binaries.
