Is the Headlight the Low Beam?

[DelElliott]

The headlight refers to the low beam. Car headlights also include low beam, high beam, daytime running lights, turn signals, and fog lights. Turning on the headlight usually means activating the low beam or high beam. The low beam is designed for close-range illumination, featuring a wide coverage area, short projection distance, and non-adjustable focus. Based on the type of car headlights, they can be categorized into four types: halogen headlights, xenon headlights, LED headlights, and laser headlights. Halogen lights offer good illumination and are widely used; xenon headlights are commonly found in mid-to-high-end vehicles, providing higher brightness than halogen lights by using high-voltage current to stimulate light emission, though they require some time to fully illuminate; LED headlights are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, durable, and compact; laser headlights are a more advanced type, predominantly used in luxury vehicles.
