I've seen suggestions for mining helmets and nightvision all around this mod, but what I'm suggesting is a toggleable nightvision with it's own HUD... like this:

INSTEAD of making a helmet using this, make the goggles for it that you can either just put on, or craft onto a helmet, and the toggle would be something like left Ctrl. And a full battery of charge = 1 min of usage (maybe too small)
It's basically epic glasses that change the HUD and give nightvision, but you can craft them on stuff.
Thoughts?
PS. IT'S HARD TO INPUT AN IMAGE!!!! Please fix?
