Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I think there is no such thing as to many lumens/candelas the more the better. If you blind yourself at home it's kinda your fault for not knowing there's a mirror or reflective surface... I'd get the brightness light I could. I'm a surefire snob... so there my vote.

LOVE the TLR-1 HL. I have one on my nightstand gun and 1 mounted on a SBR. The light output on its own may be enough to stop a suspicious person or intruder dead in their tracks, but in case it doesn't, there's plenty of lead to back it up.

I know this has been discussed in the past but I am a firm believer in the brighter the light the better. I have used the tlr 1 and the HL version at length both indoors and out and have never once thought "this is too bright."
Light dissipates quickly over distance. I want to be able to not only make out a man shaped object, but to see what that guy has in his hands at a good distance.
I will add another vote for the Streamlight TLR 1 HL. I have put thousands of rounds through it and had no issues.
