One thing I know I have issues with regarding the helmet light -- if you are equipping a gun with a mod that has an action associated to it, like laser sight mod, hitting F will only toggle the laser on/off and not do anything with the helmet light. I usually switch to some other weapon, and then I can toggle the light mod.

Yes,  as NekoPawtato said,  simply hitting F will not turn on the helmet light if you have multiple items that turn on with the F key,  like weapon lights,  laser sights,  and night vision goggles.  You would need to press the F key down and select the item that you want to turn on from the radial menu.

Thanks - I have one gun that has a light on it, and it goes on and off fine, but all other weapons with no light attached the F key doesn't do anything.

I've had a light on one gun and have used it fine, but now on other weapons or items the light won't turn on.

Having a helmet light does not turn on when using weapons or items that not equipped with a light or other light producing items isn't a bug... Sorry I don't get that. It worked fine till I swapped out for an undamaged higher level one.

you have to PRESS and HOLD the "F" key or what ever you have bound to turn on flash light and other lights, this will open the radial which then shows the icons of said lights that you can turn on and off.

 

mine in this and other test builds is working and yes i fell for it way back when it was put in... i too created a bug report.

Thanks, I will give that a try, and thanks for providing the video!

 

It's odd that it worked fine till I swapped out for a higher level
