Generally speaking, if you want a light that puts out lots of candle
power (i.e. it draws lots of power), you either have to have a really
big battery, or it runs out of power very quickly; assuming you don't
want to have a permanent power source (i.e. plugged into the the power
grid).

By definition, things that draw lots of power either have to have big
batteries or have short lived batteries. Big batteries are heavy.  So,
if you want a light that puts out lots of candle power that works for a
long time without being recharged or plugged in, you need a heavy one.

There is a pretty simple test: When you go shopping for such a thing, if
you can pick it up with one hand, it probably won't last for very long
before needing to be recharged.
