  We propose that illumination with light provides a useful platform for
creating tunable semimetals. We show that by shining light on semimetals with a
line degeneracy, one can convert them to a point node semimetal. These point
nodes are adjustable and their position can be controlled by simply rotating
the incident light beam. We also discuss the implications of this change in
Fermi surface topology, as manifested in transport observables.
