I wish y'all could see how bad I'm kickin' your tail.
The Engineer on his ability to see in the dark.

The Mining Light is a headwear item for the Engineer. It is a faintly glowing strap-on helmet lamp attached to his regular hard hat, similar to those used by miners.

The hat description was written by ravn0s for the Hat Describing Contest, and was slightly edited by Valve.
