It’s complicated. Lots of cheap lights inflate their lumens or have crappy optics.

It’s also complicated by the fact that you will want more light(s) if riding on unfamiliar roads versus familiar ones.

That said, you probably want to be looking at 450-1000. But don’t get too hung up on the numbers.
