The difference between high beam and low beam mainly lies in the illumination range and distance, light intensity and effect, icon markings, usage scenarios, working principles, impact on other vehicles, usage tips, use in special circumstances, common misuses and hazards, etc. The following is a detailed introduction:
Illumination range and distance
Low beam: The illumination distance is relatively short, usually around 30-40 meters, with an illumination range of about 160°. The light is divergent and can illuminate objects within a large range nearby
High beam: The light is more concentrated, with a large bright spot, and can illuminate higher and farther places. Its illumination distance varies depending on the material of the headlight, but is generally much farther than the low beam
Light intensity and effect
Low beam: Outside the focus, the light emitted is relatively soft and will not cause strong glare to pedestrians and other vehicle drivers
High beam: At the focus, the light emitted will be emitted in parallel and has a higher brightness. It can better help drivers see the road conditions in the distance on unlit roads at night, but if used in inappropriate occasions, it is easy to make the oncoming vehicle driver unable to see things instantly, thus causing traffic accidents
Icon logo
Low beam: The light lines of the icon are downward, which is convenient for drivers to identify during operation
High beam: The light lines of the icon are straight forward
