I am in the same boat as you with the light. I recently started expanding my commute from 5miles to 20 miles 2-3 days a week. 1/3 of that 20 miles is on dark, paved, wooded trails. I had a cateye Jido which just didn't cut it. Returned it and upgraded to a cygolight Metro 350. It would be brighter, but it does a pretty good job at lighting up the trail.
