Dawn touring would be pretty hardcore. Dusk touring, I understand, but is something to avoid, unless setting up camp in the dark is your aim (easier to hide!). Of course, if you're doing the B&B thing, a bit of dusk riding doesn't hurt, except you are much harder to see by other vehicles. Normally best to tour in daylight. Either way, all you should need is a good head-light like a Petzl, a back up light (maybe a second headlight, like a Planet Bike headlight) and rear light (like a Planet Bike Superflash). Rechargeable batteries and a smaller wall charger, depending on the length of the tour.
For commuting and randonneuring, it would be hard to beat a hub dynamo system. As an example of component prices: - http://www.bike24.com/1.php?ontent=13&search=dynamo<http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=13&search=dynamo> A LX level Shimano dynamo with a Lumotec Cyo headlight is an economical combination. I seem to remember Patrick Moore had a combo similar to this at one stage. He might have some insights on this level of dynamo system.
