Until recently, my brightest light was a 30-lumen Costco 2AA Luxeon. But last month I bought a 105-lumen thrower (Pelican M6 xenon) and an 80-lumen semiflood (Wolf Eyes 6MX). Now, I can't imagine getting ANY light below 80 lumens, no matter how cute, small, or cheap.
Why carry a light that "might" be adequate--but might not? That kind of "it's better than nothing" thinking is what drives 90% of car owners to buy short, narrow-gage jumper cables...only to find that they won't jump or won't reach. (Mine are 2-gage 25-footers.)
So, now that I've had a taaste of 80 lumens, I'm hooked. Is this just me? If this describes you, too, what's your minimum threshold?
