Self contained touring, the only times that I needed a front light was for unlite tunnels, which are quite rare. Before I got a dynohub and light, I carried a small light (Road Toad or similar) just in case I was out after dark, but almost never needed it.
My point is that for touring you should not need much of a headlight. The old lights I used were incandescent, not LED, but for limited use they were fully adequate.
