Is it possible to turn on the light on the ECH (light) helmet?

It's a camera.

Really? : o
"Should be used at night" and "light" in the ECH (light), got me quite confused. I've always thought it was a flashlight :'D

I always thought "light" referred to the type of helmet. The regular one has a wider brim and covers the ears. The light version doesn't.

Now that I look more closely, it seems there's actually a light and a camera. I was wrong.

Afaik they're not usable, but you can use PiP to display camera feeds from other units.

I'm pretty sure "light" does refer to it's armor value, so to speak

What I see is, Camera on the left (right side of wearer), battery pack/transmitter up top, and an IR source on the right (left side of wearer).

The ECH (light) is called "light" because it's 25% lighter than the standard ECH. The names are a bit confusing and will be reworked with the next main-branch update.

The 'light' refers to the weight and size, and the things you see on top the helmet are a camera and a IR strobe light. The Ctab mod allows you to use the camera, and there are several mods that allow you to turn on the strobe light, just check armaholic.
