Mmmm. I guess what I mean is that we are against a top end on the front of lights of about 4000 lumens - or about what you would get from two car headlights on full bright. On normal, they are about 2600 lumens. After that, there is no real need to go brighter on a bike, IMO. On the rear, it's probably about 400 lumens which is an amazingly bright taillight.
After that, it gets down to the feature wars - better mounts, smaller size, programmability, wireless remotes, beamshaping, better and smaller batteries etc.... It's sort of down to the point like with cars where we had the marketing battle over cupholders a few years ago.
