    Take heart:  mammals emerged into the sunlight after a worldwide 
catastrophe.  That catastrophe is occurring right now:  slow in man-years 
but an eyeblink in geologic time.

    In any case, pay close attention to nighttime lighting.  Both distance

viewing and depth perception are greatly reduced with cheaper 
headlamp/bikelights.  $2-300 for a quality high-wattage bikelight system I

don't think would be out of line if you are serious about night-riding, 
especially on a fast roadbike.
