[Paddlewise] Night Light ???

I would like to get a waterproof flashlight for use as a signaling light when night paddling.   In looking at a few lights I see ratings on watts, lumens, and candlepower.   What is the minimum intensity in any or all of the preceding rating units that I should consider for a "white signaling" light.

I would prefer something smaller than a regular flashlight which has LED bulbs and uses AA batteries.  However, getting something bright enough to really help avoid a collision is the most important factor.   Any recommendations would be appreciated.
