Glad that you started commuting! You must be as crazy as the rest of us! A good, bright headlight is a must when it is dark (and in the daytime, too) and modern LED lights are not that expensive. I use NiteRider Minewt 600 Cordless, about 500 to 600 lumens, about $150 in specialty shops and online but right now about $110 at Amazon. There are several other excellent lights these days. See, and be seen!
edit - I actually use two of the 600s. The pair of lights is mighty bright . . .
