IMO about 150 Lumens with 3 adjustment levels covers most jobs.

For general LED flashlight information you can't beat the Candlepower Forum, and their LED section.

Checkout

www.4sevens.com A great vendor.

I have lights up to 200 lumens.

Tactical? Crenelated head and perhaps tail to be used as hand held weapon.
Pulse tailcap switch for quick hit blinding.

A couple of my latest acquisitions not really tactical, I was just looking for the latest, smallest, high output everyday carry (EDC) light(s).

4Seven Preon Kit. 2XAAA or comes with a body conversion for 1XAAA. 160 lumens, 3 light levels plus strobe, sos etc. with the latest Cree Emitter. I like it in the 2X format. I carry it in my shirt pocket like a pen. My pants pockets have enough stuff. Tail cap clicky switch.

The other new one to wear around the neck while camping, Quark Mini 1X123A 160 lumens. 3 light levels. Twist head to operate. Kind of like the Maglite only much better.

Shown with a LWS .380 for size comparison.

Quark Minis are available in AA or 123A format.

Here is the Preon, shirt pocket. It's my favorite for daily travel. I have Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable AA and AAA to juice a few of my lights. Good stuff and you can do an Amazon search for charging kits and rechargable batteries of the Sanyo ilk.
