I still don't get the whole candle power, watt, or whatever, to lumen thing either. That aside I will say this.

I've got two 12V DC 300 lumen lights on my service truck, and it's amazing how much area they light up. I can get them up about 10 feet and have enough light to work on a machine after dark.

I've got two more that are 120V AC, 3750 lumen that I use with a small inverter. I c put on my crane and get them about 25 feet up. They easily light up a huge area like it was the middle of the day.

The main thing to look for, beyond the lumens, is the heat/color. The lower numbers, like 3000k are going to have a more yellow light, like a standard incandescent bulb. The higher numbers, like 5000k or 6000k are going to be a much brighter, whiter, light...closer to sunlight.

For working in the field, a couple of 12V 300, or 500 lumen lights would be plenty to see like it was the middle of the day. Too, due to the low amp draw I'd LEDs, you can always get a small inverter like I did, and get a couple of the much larger, and typically cheaper for their size, AC units to really light things up.

The best, and cheapest, place I've found to get LED stuff is Lighting Ever. Look for a coupon code before you order and it's typically easy to get at least 15% to 20% off the top of the already low prices.
