high-beam
Blinding night setting
High-beam refers to a vehicle's headlights set to their brightest, longest-range setting, used for visibility on dark roads without oncoming traffic.
The beam angle is higher than low-beam, illuminating farther ahead: She switched to high-beams on the empty highway.
To high-beam someone is to flash your brights at them, often as a warning or signal.
