You're all hardhat and no cattle.
The Engineer

The Mining Light is a headwear item for the Engineer. It appears as a faintly glowing strap-on helmet lamp attached to his regular hardhat, that is similar to the ones used by miners.

The hat description was written by ravn0s, and was slightly edited by Valve.
