    good find! most player light sources aren't directional. verified with metal darklamp and virtue miner's helmet. it doesn't even seem to be as straightforward as points downswards: i saw it sputter and show ahead of me a few times as i swung the camera around, and the miner's helmet adds an extra variable since the head moves to point the way the camera is facing, within a reasonable range.

    I sent Thundgar Diablos (a rare First-Person View streamer; the one we raided yesterday from the Release 104 stream) a Darklamp, and to much of my dismay, it didn't light up his path...
