Nah, I've been doing night CX with 300 lumens. Quality>quantity.
^This. I've been using some Philips light from Germany and while it's not insanely bright the optics and reflector is properly designed. Perfect vision on dark lanes. The best way I can describe it is that the light is relaxing and there's no hotspots. Unfortunately the light is heavy and the battery capacity could be better. Also the mount is a bit wobbly. Fine for a 2 hour dark spin though.

If you're out in the country with no light what's the so ever. 600 lumen is about the minimum.
I've ordered this. But direct.

Bit of a faff with the separate battery. But should be nice now eternal darkness is setting in.
