✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 9,408 endorsements and 205,705 downloads.

- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only affects two helmets, so if you use other armor sets, you won't benefit.
For Fallout 4 players who use Combat Armor or Tinkerer's helmets and want a built-in light source without sacrificing a weapon slot. Perfect for survival mode or dark interiors. Skip if you prefer power armor or other helmet types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install via the 'Mod Manager Download' button for automatic setup.
- Make sure to check the mod's load order—place it after any mods that alter the Combat Armor Helmet to avoid conflicts.
- In-game, the headlamp is toggled via the same key as other headlamps (default 'T' on PC), so test it after installing.
