Winter Light

Well, the days are getting shorter and the temperature is descending into single figures. After my slight mishap last week, I thought I would buy a better front light so that cars would definitely see me coming. A little research landed me at the Evans website. Lo and behold they had a sale on too! I managed to pick up a Blackburn Voyager 4.0 for only £23. This little beauty throws out a respectable 45 lumens. It has low and high power modes as well as the usual flashing mode. What is unusual are the flashing amber lights giving side visibilty, similar to my blackburn rear light.

I have read a few reviews stating that the bracket is poorly made. I have not yet had any issues and the unit clicks in firmly. Time will tell whether this beast stands up to a Winter London commute.

I will still use my old Cateye EL530 for backup, held in place with a trusty rubber band(the bracket snapped).
