What is the difference between headlights, high beams, and low beams?
1 Answers
The differences between headlights, high beams, and low beams are as follows: 1. Headlights: By definition, headlights refer to the lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of a car, used for illuminating the road during nighttime driving. Low beams fall within the category of headlights, but headlights are certainly not limited to just low beams. According to the definition, both low beams and high beams are types of headlights. 2. High beams: High beams focus their light parallel to the road, emitting a more concentrated and brighter light that can illuminate distant and high objects. 3. Low beams: Low beams emit light that diverges beyond their focal point (between 1x and 2x the focal length), covering a larger area at a closer range. Both are used for nighttime illumination, but high beams have a higher angle and longer range, while low beams have a lower angle and shorter range.
