Wikipedia
low beam
A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to illuminate the road ahead. Headlamps are also often called headlights, but in the most precise usage, headlamp is the term for the device itself and headlight is the term for the beam of light produced and distributed by the device. Headlamp performance has steadily improved throughout the automobile age, spurred by the great disparity between daytime and nighttime traffic fatalities: the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that nearly half of all traffic-related fatalities occur in the dark, despite only 25% of traffic travelling during darkness.Other vehicles, such as trains and aircraft, are required to have headlamps. Bicycle headlamps are often used on bicycles, and are required in some jurisdictions. They can be powered by a battery or a small generator like a bottle or hub dynamo.

Low beam is a setting on a vehicle's headlights designed to illuminate the road directly in front of the vehicle without causing significant glare to oncoming drivers. Low beam lights, also known as dipped headlights, produce a beam that covers a shorter distance compared to high beam lights. They are an essential feature for safe night driving or during conditions of poor visibility.
