Hi, I got this idea of making a mining helm that have light on top so when people are going on a mining trip they don't need alot of stacks of torches with them, but simply just a mining helm. And was thinking it has to be powered by something so i was thinking maybe coal, blaze rod or redstone. I think it would be awesome
I'm pretty sure that they would add this and handheld torches if they ever get around to making dynamic lighting. To make light move with the player, it causes quite a bit of lag and slower computers can't handle it, so they have to solve that problem first.
The idea of portable lighting has been suggested many times and its a cool idea. However, I don't support it my reasons being that it would be very laggy as light in minecraft is calculated separately for each block.
As much as I want dynamic lighting, it won't happen. It's really laggy. I don't know why Mojang can't follow the lead of other mods that have perfectly fine dynamic lightning. :/

Plenty of amateur programmers have found a way to make it work without being (too) laggy. Maybe Mojang just needs to work harder
