Two things consider with headlights, the small head lights will tell others on the road something is there, brighter lights will let you see what is up ahead on the road. Where are you riding? I ride with a group that will do gravel roads at night and on a dirt rail\trail, there are no street lights on the routes. Bright lights are needed to see where we are going and to alert others of your presence.
When on the road I always use a front facing small flashing white light and two tail lights; a Varia radar\light and a helmet mounted light. When riding at night, the forward light is in the 800 to 1,200 lumen range and on solid.
The answer to your question is yes.
