Self-illuminate is a feature of the Source Engine that causes certain textures to appear to glow when in areas with little light. This effect is used to add to the appearance of certain items in Team Fortress 2.
Objects that glow in the dark
| Class | Object | Location of glow |
|---|---|---|
 Scout |
Sun-on-a-Stick | The orange portions. |
 Pyro |
Sharpened Volcano Fragment | The orange portions. |
 Engineer |
Mining Light | The lightbulb. |
| Industrial Festivizer | The fairy lights. | |
| All classes | A Rather Festive Tree | The star on top of the tree. |
| Cheater's Lament | The halo. | |
| Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head | The inside areas. | |
| Earbuds | The entire object. |
Trivia
- The Earbuds being entirely self-illuminate is a reference to the iPod commericals where they are worn against silhouettes.
