Keep in mind that light can be measured different ways also. Different wavelengths that maybe visable or not.
At work I just happened to get a Streamlight after going through some 'high' output cheapies.
The Streamlight is awesome! I have three.
Strion Tasklight AAA and the smallest rated around 70 lumens the Microstream.
In my profession, the microstream is the most useful. I don't ever need more than 70 lumens, in fact when I try to use a flashlight with more power sometimes it's too bright!
It actually will reflect and blind me. But I work in a hospital, Biomedical Engineer...so I don't usually need distance. And the microstream uses 1, that's ONE AAA. LED.
So make sure your light matches the job.
