If you are comparing different lights, the lumen count is not the only thing to consider. What is the beam pattern? How much of the light gets to where you need it to go?
There is an interesting site that compares many of the commercial bike lights available in the US - Bikelightdatabase. https://bikelightdatabase.com/ It has reviews and redommendations for lights too.
I use a knockoff of the Lezyne Zecto Drive for my daytime running lights. They works great. I bought them after looking at the specs at the Lezyne website and realizing their version of the light had a lot of bells and whistles (7 settings) but all I wanted was two steady levels and a flashing mode plus USB rechargeable. Mine go for $11 a pair including shipping whereas the Lezyne lights are $70 a pair plus shipping. They are still good to go after being used several years.
