There are only so many lumens you can generate with 0.6W.

I think my Secula is pretty good for nightime use. The B+M lights try to maximize conspicuity by spreading the light generated over a large area. You don't need a lot of light intensity (lux) for conspicuity at night, and there is a theory that bigger and no so piercing is actually better than very bright and concentrated. So more like B+M Topline (big and diffuse / low lux) instead of Supernova (small and concentrated / high lux).
