Questions before you buy
What are the main types of headlamp?
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.
What is the difference between a flood and spot beam?
A flood beam spreads light nearby, while a spot beam concentrates it towards a farther point. A mixed beam combines close and distance illumination.
Are headlamps rechargeable or battery powered?
Both designs are available. Some recharge, some use replaceable batteries and hybrid designs may support either system; check the exact model.
Which headlamp type is best for running?
A secure, lightweight design with a stable beam is a useful starting point. Consider rear visibility, comfort and runtime for your route.
