You're entitled to your opinion - I just don't happen to share it. What I'm most interested in myself is the actual beam spread. That IMO is what makes a light useful - not just lumen output. In fact, it would take four times the light output to cover four times the area with the same luminous intensity - but the 'brightness' would appear identical in the illuminated areas of either. A larger beam spread would be a lot more useful to drive with IMO.
