I have a Streamlight scorpion that was all the rage 20 years ago at 60 lumen. 
Time for a few new lights I think.
That's what I have. I thought it was in the 200-300 lumens range but I was way off. The Scorpion HL was 600 but now it's 725 lumens. When they say how many thousands of candelas the old one is it sounds impressive but If you look at the lumens it's only 78. I'm almost embarrassed to own it now.

The only good thing about it is it fits my weapons mount just right but the batteries are dead and I haven't even been using it. I think the lights I got for free at Harbor Freight are brighter.
