The Mining Light was the first unlockable headwear item for the Engineer. It appears as the Engineer's regular yellow hard hat with the addition of a strap-on helmet lamp typically used by miners.
Trivia
- The bulb of the light glows in the dark.
- Typical miner's helmets have a fitting either attached to them or molded into their surface, for the purpose of holding such a light. Since the Engineer wears a construction worker's hard hat, the light must be attached by non-conductive leather or nylon straps.
- The Engineer wears his hard hat backwards, which is not an uncommon practice amongst roughnecks and other skilled laborers. However, this means that the Mining Light is actually strapped to his helmet incorrectly, though facing forwards.
- This hat, alongside Soldier's Stash and the Trophy Belt are the only three hats that don't actually remove the class' default hat, but rather add something extra to it.
- The hat description was written by ravn0s, however it should be noted that the full submission ("For Engineers with bright ideas. Or for when you're lost in the dark") was not used in its entirety.
