100 to 150 lumens should be adequate for most needs, but for activities like scrambling and route-finding at night, travelers may want a more powerful headlamp — something as bright as 300 lumens.
How many lumens do I need for night hiking?
A typical lumens panel on a box, with MIN and MAX illustrated. For most outdoor folk a lumen count between 100-200 will be more than sufficient. That is enough to search your pack, tent, and campsite at night, and to do some light trail-finding at a max setting.

The
red light on a
headlamp is intended for preserving your
night vision while still providing some
light so you can see. Additionally
red light modes on a
headlamp aren't as blinding to your friends, so it is ideal when using a
headlamp with a group of people. Cool!
Headlamps preserve your night vision.
Red and green lights don't washout the human eyes cones (or is it the rods) like a white light does. That means you will still have some night vision capability after you turn off a green or red flashlight and you will be back up to full night vision sooner.
100 lumens is considered bright enough for most walkways — including commercial properties. 100 lumens is equivalent to about 20 watts.
Lumens measure how much light you are getting from a bulb. More lumens means it's a brighter light; fewer lumens means it's a dimmer light. Lumens let you buy the amount of light you want. ... To replace a 100 watt (W) incandescent bulb, look for a bulb that gives you about 1600 lumens.
