What type of batteries do you want to use? AA, 18650, or something else?
An 800 lumen 18650 powered light would certainly be bright even during the day, even if it only has an hour of run time, but batteries are more expensive and you'll need a charger for lithium batteries. An 18650 battery will cost $10-20 each and a decent charger will be another $20 or so and you might not have other devices that can use these batteries. The upside is that this is certainly bright enough to light your way at night also.
There are lower powered lights with more run time also. My 500 lumen light runs for about 2 hours and is still bright enough to light the road at night.
