Headlamp Types: Flood, Spot, Rechargeable and Helmet-mounted

Common types include single-beam lights, mixed flood-and-spot models, rechargeable lamps, hybrid battery models, helmet-mounted work lights and compact running or hiking torches. Choose by task and fit.

A flood beam spreads light nearby, while a spot beam concentrates it towards a farther point. A mixed beam combines close and distance illumination.

Both designs are available. Some recharge, some use replaceable batteries and hybrid designs may support either system; check the exact model.

A secure, lightweight design with a stable beam is a useful starting point. Consider rear visibility, comfort and runtime for your route.
