I have tried many different collar lights when training the dog team and they always manage to get snagged on the gangline, broken or somehow detached from the collar or just flat out quit working due to getting coated in frozen dog slobber. I got a SpotLit a couple of months ago http://leerburg.com/1201.htm and am very impressed with how sturdy it is and how well it works. I highly recommend this as a great safety light for anyone who trains or exercises their dogs at night. Excellent piece of gear!

Holy cow! I never even saw that!
Aside from the uses you mentioned, I am thinking about how GREAT this will be on my black one. I can never see him in the yard in the evening, even with the outside lights on, if he's near/in the bushes.
Yes- they are great for anybody out and about in the dark - they are not annoyingly burn-out-your-retinas flashy but still very visible. Also alot less expensive than alot of collar flashers and the batteries really last a long time.
They come in different colours - I have a white one(SpotLit) but I haven't noticed the red ones I have bothering the dogs - they are pretty oblivious to the flashers. I have mine hanging under thier chins on a separate collar that we only use to run so I don't think it is in their direct field of vision.
QUOTE: ..... dogs actually do see color, but many fewer colors than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs would see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow (sort of brown), and very dark gray. In other words, dogs see the colors of the world as basically yellow, blue and gray. They see the colors green, yellow and orange as yellowish, and they see violet and blue as blue. Blue-green is seen as a gray. You can see what the spectrum looks like to people and dogs below. .... One amusing or odd fact is that the most popular colors for dog toys today are red or safety orange (the bright orange red on traffic cones or safety vests). However red is difficult for dogs to see. It may appear as a very dark brownish gray or perhaps even a black. This means that that bright red dog toy that is so visible to you may often be difficult for your dog to see. END QUOTE

I can visualize this perfectly. Randy and the dog stumbling around in the grass looking for the invisible ball .....
I have bad night vision, so this product is going to be great for me. I just ordered two so I would have a backup. (I have just one black dog. Sometimes I "lose" him in the daytime, if he gets into the darkest shadows of the bushes! )

I have similar lights that I use for cycling... I just switch them back and forth between dog collar and jersey pocket, lol. Those are a great deal, too-- LED's are the best! I just got one by blackburn that can be pretty blinding... as long as it keeps the cars from running me over I'm good though; the brighter the better!
