i bought two, one for my bike and the other is for my wife. I bought is 3 months ago and still works and serve us well. I recommend it.

A decent light for the city

The headlight is sturdy and well crafted. The mounting bracket looks flimsy, but is holding up well so far. Blink mode is extremely bright and effective, but steady headlight mode seems a bit weak - does not light dark streets particularly well. Overall, considering the cost, its a good light.

Very bright, great light

I purchased this light today to replace the blackburn quadrant
set that I purchased a few months ago, which I now have attched
to my daughters bicycle. This is a great headlamp.(the quadrant is also
very good) Very bright went it is a solid light, and when I have it set to flashing mode, it seems to be even brighter. Easy to attach, and can be easily removed to take with you, if you commute and have to leave your bike unattended. I would highly recommend this headlight.

City commuter? Here's a light you may want to consider.

So, I was commuting to work one day here in NYC, when I stop at a busy intersection. As it happens, I pull up beside a mini-van full of cyclists (theyre wearing the colorful clothes, the beanies, bikes on the roof rack) who were on their way to Central Park to begin a ride through New Jersey. Anyway, one of them leans out the window and says "HowYaDoin!" and asks me what light I was using. I tell him its a Blackburn Voyager, and that I run it in the daytime now cause I was doored earlier in the month (no serious damage--just bruises). He says to me: "Yeah, its great, my buddies and have been watching you come up on us for the last four blocks."

Point: If the object is to be seen in the city; if the object is to get the drivers/pedestrians attention; this light will do it well. The minimalists cyclist may prefer a Knog Frog (as small as it gets) as this light will stand up from your bars a bit, but I think this light is compact enough for anyone who commutes. The light clicks on and off easily from the bracket, and the bracket is also easy removed from the bike if needed elsewhere.

Bright, Effective Safety Light

If youre looking for a light to light up a trail, youre looking in the wrong price range. Trail lights start around $150 if you get a good deal. But for urban night riding, this light works like a charm. First off, it has a constant mode and a blinky mode. Constant mode will give you 24 hrs of light where the blinky mode will give you 48 hrs of light. If youve ever been on a night ride where after hour 3 your fresh batteries die, youll realize that this is important. Next, its quite bright for a AAA battery powered light. Third, its light and unobtrusive, and the mechanism that secures it to the handlebars has a clever design that makes it easy to adjust on the road. If youve ever had a light that starts to flop down on you at night, youll know this is important. Fourth, it was only twenty five bucks!
