Depends on what you want to look at.

I have an expensive 5 watt LED flashlight that will light up the mailbox at the end of my driveway (200' away) plain as day with a tight beam. I have an ATV with 45 watt headlights with the worlds worst reflectors that you can't even see the mailbox at the same distance.

Now if i put the ATV 30 feet in front of the house, it will light up the whole front wall. The flashlight will only light up a 2 foot circle on the wall from that distance.

I would say that the ATV puts out a lot more light, but not on a single object 200' away!
