Helmet lights?

[Silverwood]

Hello

Do the helmet lights actually work?

I click L all the time and nothing happens.

Looking at forums, etc it seems as if it can be quite hot & miss, so do they really work?

Aha, seems you are correct!

Apologies.

You can also just click the "lights" action group button (right side of the altimeter display, top button of three) while EVA to toggle helmet lights.  And yes, they most assuredly work; they cast a nice light that's not just good to see what you're doing while flying in shadow, but can give a sort of depth perception (because the light falls off quickly with distance -- ten meters and its dim, twenty meters it's almost gone).  Handy for EVA maneuvering around an unlit/unpowered vessel.

Oh ok, I hadn't tried the light action group.

Thanks.
