The problem with this forum is that it's filled with people who've made commuting into a hobby as opposed to just a way to get to work. To the outsider commuting would appear to be way more complicated than it is.

You have everything you need. You may or may not want some other stuff as you get into it. For now just do it while there's still daylight for the trip there and back. Worry about lights once it's starts getting dark.
