I'm looking to buy a light and they list the capabilities of a light in candle power, Lumens and Watts. What's a better determinate for the amount of light a lamp will put out?

Example, a light has
10,000 Candlepower
25 Lumens
3.18 Watts.

Now I think the Wattage is just the amount of juice it uses...so I'm assuming the less that number is the more battery time you have...but the actual light output might suffer.
