This weapon will reside in the pistol safe beside the bed. No holster needed.
So if this is just a bedside gun, you might think about when you'd use it (i.e. woken up in the middle of the night, etc) and how much light you really want in those circumstances.
I don't claim to be any sort of tactical expert, but I do know that when I get up in the night, a bright 800 or 1000 lumen light is a bit much, especially indoors with white walls in the house. A milder light seems to be plenty for me. That's not the popular trend, but is what I've found works for me.
Of course, keep in mind that a lot of flashlights (especially the chinese stuff) have ridiculous high lumen value claims on what are really 80-100 lumen lights, so that might skew your frame of reference if you're basing it on that.
