Think of a very dim aa maglite, I'm sure the output was around 10-20 lumens.

Jeez, I remember the Wonder light. What a piece of trash. The battery was expensive and didn't last long. The light output was bad, even compared with other lights of the time.

I still have a Wonder leg light. That wasn't a bad concept.
