As for the lumens don't worry about it until you hit about 3000.

Correction on my post. I stated I merge into traffic at 50mph. Ha, I meant to say, I have to merge into
TRAFFIC that is DOING 50mph. I have to cut in, get to the side of lane(no shoulder), and her comes mr and mrs cager doing 50mph +, and they don't give me my three feet either!!
My 26650 lights are rated at 1600 lums, but you know how they put yeast in those flashlights!!
No matter, I would say they are giving off an honest 1000+lums each. Cagers catch up to me and ask " what are you running? Wow".. Haven't got a complaint yet. But, it boggles the mind when I come tooling along at about 15 mph, and a car is gettting ready to make a left turn in front of me, abotu a half block away! They wait!!
Plus, any responsible rider running strong lights, IMO, are responsible enough to have the aimed correctly..
Safe riding to you..
