Headlamp
A headlamp is a
lamp, usually attached to the front of a
vehicle such as a
car, with the purpose of illuminating the road ahead during periods of low
visibility, such as night or
precipitation. While it is common for the term headlight to be used interchangeably in informal discussion, headlamp is the technically correct term for the device itself, while headlight properly refers to the
beam of light produced and distributed by the device.
