I run 2 front lamps in the winter, and tend to use both on the boost setting, each producing 1,650 lumens.
One of the lamps is a mountain bike lamp, and I aim that a little in front as it has a wide beam.
The other is a road lamp, and I aim that quite far in front and it has a narrow beam.
In total: 3,300 lumens.
It is daylight in front of me when I ride with that setup (most Winter riding). I have to be careful not to angle them too high as they can dazzle drivers. They dazzle cyclists anyway, so I avoid using dedicated cycle lanes with this setup, at least if they're on the other side of the road there's a chance they can still see.
