Yes, there are different kinds of headlamps based on the methods of lighting that they provide. There are headlamps with one lamp that can put out a consistent beam. These tend to be the cheapest headlamps. If you move more towards the high-end range, you will find models with a flood and a spotlight.  The combination of these lamps gives runners incredible brightness. These headlamps are perfect for runners who enjoy night trail runs. Lastly, some headlamps feature only floodlights. These headlamps can spray light to your front and on the sides, and so they offer excellent peripheral vision.
