Pistol and rifle lights have different purposes for target ID at different distances. I run X300U (1000 lumen) and a M600DF(1500 lumen) at home and at work. I also have 800 and 1000 lumen lights for patrol work on my person. You won't blind yourself indoors.
All of the light, you are trying to replace the sun. Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics has some great videos on low light work that will help out. I teach my Explorers some of this stuff for handheld light use. Here is a good starting point.
