That's the difference between my old 1/2 watt Blaze and the TerraLUX on high in a blacked-out hallway. I doubt the 2w Blaze can burn that brightly. Even if it can, the flashlight was still cheaper by more than $10.
FINALLY. Someone who asked about bike lights on this forum and got good advice, actually FOLLOWED IT. Hallelujah!
I can't tell you many many friggin' times folks have asked "which light?" or "Planet Bike 0.5-1watt?" to which they've been steered directly toward your setup by many people, and then what do they do? They go out and promptly bike a Planet Bike light just because it's "bike-specific." I'd say it's like a 10:1 ratio between folks who do this versus actually taking the advice - it's not like the lockblock is that complicated or hard to order.
Good on you. Try the inner-tube home-made helmet mount for that light as well - if you make one well, it's amazingly stable and effective. (It's very easy to make - google search it.)
