These already mostly exist.
Engineering space helmets have a light and protect your eyes from damage due to welders. They don't protect you from flashes, though.
Sure. I meant in an accessible/easily craftable (e.g. "smack welding mask with hardhat") way. Only antags and engineering really need either of these, anyway, and the fabricators for the engineering helmets are fairly secure. Basically, if I see non-engineering with these I frown because powergaming or likely antagonist.
Not such an issue on LLJK2, as every other staff assistant is wearing some sort of hat a few minutes in, but it still has me a bit wary.
