mining helmet

Lamp-equipped head protection

A mining helmet is a protective hard hat worn by miners, typically equipped with a lamp mounted on the front to illuminate dark underground passages.

The attached light—historically a flame lamp, now usually electric—allows hands-free work in mines and caves.

The beam from his mining helmet cut through the darkness of the shaft.
