What are beam types?

Available with a range of beam types, head torches can feature one or more variations to suit a range of applications making them extremely versatile. Some head torches will have beam types that are switchable by the user where other, more simple head torches will have a single fixed beam type. 

Flood - A large beam pattern suitable for illumination open spaces especially when light is unavailable such as in caves or at night.

Spot - A focused, narrow beam ideal for detail work or when doing maintenance in low light spaces such as in access spaces or under the stairs. 

Flashing - Perfect for personal safety, whether on a job site or out for a bike ride, a built-in flashing function can ensure you're always seen no matter the circumstance. 

High/Low - This adjustable beam function allows you to switch between two or more brightness levels. Benefits such as battery saving when a small amount of light is needed or additional light levels when there really is no other light source mean you'll never be in the dark again.
