Using benchmarks for architectural lighting, 800-900lm is a standard lightbulb, 50lm is minimum for reading anything without straining to see.

Those benchmarks don't quite apply, here. 1-200lm is fine for fighting and nav. I personally mount two lights, one in the 1-200lm range and one 500lm+. One is for actually illuminating things, the other is used offensively for CQB suppression and area denial.
