[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 3037456, member: 96793"] Bright isn’t always best: Generally when I am working on the road I am running my light at 150’ish lumens. The light helps me look at detail and also be seen by heavy equipment operators and the public. When I hike in the dark for hunting, I’m using about the same lumens.

I often run my light on “amber”, doesn’t attract bugs and I can still see pretty good. 400-lumens gives pretty good spot lighting and will light up an animal’s eyes at 300+ yards without any problem. For reference, the brightness of vehicle headlights are: [/QUOTE]
