The new Voyager 4.0 will boldly go where no commuter light has gone before. With a potent Luxeon 1 watt LED emitter churning out 45 darkness-scalding lumens through a sophisticated beam-shaping optical lens, there is plenty of light to see the road or bike path. And unique to Blackburn, two independently controlled amber side LED's provide 180 degrees of feel-good, be-seen visibilty. The emitter uses the same anti-dimming Constant Current Technology as our powerful System X lights, and four AA batteries will provide 4 hours of runtime at full brightness or 10 hours on low. There is also separate flash modes for the side LED's and the main beam.

Blackburn Voyager 4.0 Feb 10, 2010 I bought this 4.0 with 2 x 3.3 Voyagers for peripheral lighting. The light from the Voyager 4.0 is much more yellow than the 3.3's, not nearly as bright white. But, this thing is absurdly bright. I am replacing a Blackburn Quad that I thought was sufficient, wow - what a difference. This gives a great footprint in front of you that instills complete confidence riding in the darkkness of night. Combined with my two 3.3's for left and right of center and I can see better than in my truck.
Like I mentioned in my Voyager 3.3 review - Now I see coyotes, bobcats and I'm pretty sure I see dead people too!
Battery life is just about 4 hours on the constant on setting, keep spare batteries or have additional lights like me.

Give me the old Sep 12, 2009 The connector broke the very first night we used it and of course the light itself hit the ground and hasn't worked since. This light is very bulky (4-AA) batteries and isn't sturdy. I have an old Blackburn that has fallen some ten times and still works fine. Wasn't even worth wasting the time to return it. I bought an entirely different brand and it has worked great.

Brightest for the buck. Jan 25, 2009 This was the brightest when comparing to several others under $60. It works well with AA rechargeable batteries. I strongly recommend to NOT use the flashing sidelights. A couple cars pulled out in front of me. One driver yelled out "your turn signal is on". I then realized he was referring to the right flashing sidelight. I now have tape over them for safety. The mounting clip appears to be fragile. I haven't broken it yet, but I'm being real careful. The quality of the light itself is good.

Solid light, needs better mount - DISCONTINUED Jan 20, 2009 This is a really solid light that needs a better mounting method. A lot of light output, good solid feel, and rugged. It fell off my bike and bounced 40 feet down hard pavement. Outside of some scratches, it still worked.
BUT, the reason the light fell off my bike was because the mounting clamp broke. I rode over some really sharp bumps in the road and the next thing I knew, my new headlight was bouncing down the road. The light itself is on the heavy side because of the batteries and how solidly it is built. With sharp bumps, this can put a lot of stress on the mounting point. The mounting clamp provided by Blackburn was not up to the task.
Now I get to find out how good Blackburn's warranty service is.
UPDATE (3Feb09): The Voyager 4.0 has been discontinued according to the Blackburn customer rep I talked to! When I sent in my Voyager to Blackburn, I got a Flea headlight back in return. Judging from the number of people with broken mount problems, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they are trying to redesign the mount.
The thing I'm disappointed in right now is that I spent $45 here at Amazon to get a strong, bright light and now I have a light I could have initially ordered for $20. I called Blackburn about it and they said they go off the list price of the Flea which is $30. And they consider the light comparable. *sigh*
The Flea is pretty surprising for its size. But it spreads the light out a bit more which is both good and bad. Better peripheral light but less straight down the road. My suggestion, if you were thinking about spending $45 for a Voyager, buy TWO Fleas instead for less money and what should be some really nice light.
UPDATE (25Oct09) What? They're still selling this light? Just took a run over to the Blackburn site and I guess they've discontinued it. It's no longer listed. They have a bunch of new Flea's now.

Powerful light with a flimsy clip Nov 26, 2008 Great light for nighttime use, lasts about 4-5 hours on rechargeable 2300 mAh Duracells. The clip is garbage though. The light is very bulky due to the 4 AA batteries being housed in the body, and the clip's swivel is not adjustable. The ridiculously small screw that held the base and clip together broke after 4 months of light usage (used the light maybe twice a week).
