Want to light up your nighttime walk like the 4th of July? Grab an LED leash as well. There will be no missing you walking your dog in the dark, surrounded by a soft glow of light. Now, the LEUCHTIE isn’t a dog collar in the traditional sense. It has no attachment for a leash. Instead, it’s designed to be worn in addition to a regular dog collar.

LEUCHTIE stands for highest quality: Extremely robust, absolutely reliable and since 2003 proven in its use hundreds of thousands of times worldwide. The Leuchtie light collar is also great when your dog is on the lead, as they will be seen clearly by motorists - keeping them visable when walking on town or country roads. Once you've tried the Leuchtie you'll wonder how you ever did without it! Please note that the batteries will need to be charged before using the LEUCHTIE Easy Charge Premium for the first time! A full set of instructions will be provided with your Leuchtie Easy Charge Premium Collar . For bigger furry noses, the LEUCHTIE Plus and the LEUCHTIE Easy Charge are available for selection: For toy and small dogs, see the mini Leuchtie LED Dog Collar. Benefits of the Leuchtie LED Collar - PlusI was really impressed with these collars and they provide a huge amount of light. Once on, the dogs didn’t really seem to notice or care they were there and the fact that they turn on by turning them upside down, meant that there wasn’t any fiddling about to find the on/off switch when I’d got them on the dogs. Perfect when you have 3 over excited dogs bouncing around. Depending on the model, it can be easily charged via USB or operated with 2 low-cost, commercially available batteries that are very easy to replace. Both of these factors contribute decisively to the fact that our illuminated collar for dogs is extremely robust and stable. It withstands wild romping or rolling around without any problems and is extremely insensitive to dirt and absolutely waterproof (not only splash-proof). This makes our dog collars very durable and, in combination with the extremely bright LEDs, provides your dog with reliable protection in the dark.

Many people have stopped to remark on the collars whilst we have been testing them, and I have to admit they are an excellent product. Don’t be fooled by its tiny size! When facing you, this small LED light is incredibly bright. I could see it from 760 yards away as long as my dog was facing my direction. Choose from a vast range of colours the standard Leuchtie LED dog collar comes in 8 sizes: 35 cm, 40 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm, 55 cm, 60 cm, 65 cm and 70 cm.While all collars we reviewed claimed to be weatherproof, only a few were waterproof. So to test these claims, I took each collar out in a snowfall and a light rain. I then observed whether the LED collar shorted out. As a result of the double sealing process, the collars are 100% waterproof, moisture and dirt resistant, even swimming is no problem.

In fact, many of these LED collars were identical in every way except for the brand name printed on them. We interviewed numerous store owners to separate the name brands from the pretenders. Once we weeded out the duplicates, there were not a whole lot of LED collars left. These Premium Easy Charge Collars are the latest addition to the LEUCHTIE range. Comes complete with a recharging station which runs via a USB cable, meaning you can charge your Leuchtie via your PC or a power supply unit plug. All Premium Easy Charge Leuchtie's have 5 LED's and the lifespan between charging is approximately 20 hours. This Premium range features extreme and constant brightness without fading, as well as now flashing to indicate that the batteries must be charged. Your leash attaches to the harness by a ring that is located on the rear of the harness. Unfortunately, this makes the LightHound unsuitable for pullers. To put it simply, harnesses with a rear attachment encourage the dog to pull as your pup tries to prove that he is stronger than you. If your dog is a puller, I recommend using an LED collar with a harness designed to prevent tugging like the PetSafe Easy Walk instead. LEUCHTIE is an extremely bright and durable LED light collar for dogs with patented sensor technology. Already have the perfect collar for your dog? Only plan on using an LED collar a few times a year? Or maybe you want to keep a portable collar light on hand, just in case.Not wanting to wait around with a timer in hand, I set up my webcam to record the glowing dog collars. From here, I simply measured the time on the video from when it was switched on until the time the LED collar stopped glowing. I repeated this process three times and averaged the time. It’s funny – sometimes you come across a product that is so well-made that it doesn’t seem fair to compare it to the competition. I’m going to be straight up with you. After reviewing the LEUCHTIE, all other LED collars look like toys. This LED collar outclasses all others by a long shot. It goes without saying that LED collars are perfect for walks at dusk when your surroundings soon become dark. Thanks to eye-catching colours dogs are clearly visible over long distances and are easy to distinguish in the dark.

While each collar held up well enough during our review period, I have doubts that they will last through everyday wear. Up to 100 hours* with alkaline batteries or 120 hours* when USB-rechargeable. Particularly economical due to energy-efficient technology and the latest Superflux LEDs.Just one more point worth mentioning. Be prepared for compliments and questions. I learned on my trip to the dog park that LED leashes are still not commonly known. I had three different dog owners come up to me and ask about the leash and how it worked. Very bright and hand-selected Superflux LEDs guarantee the greatest possible safety for dogs and humans. The puddle we came across on our walk is a different story, though. I didn’t see it, but Harper sure did. In the blink of an eye, my water-loving pooch jumped in. She rolled around as if her only mission in life were to soak up this puddle, splashing her LED collar in the process. As you see, an LED dog collar is useful in any scenario where visibility is an issue. However, I will add that it’s fun watching two or three LED-collar-wearing dogs sprint around the park at night, as if the collars are floating – it’s a great light show! In our test, green was visible from 520 yards away. Red lost visibility at just over 300 yards. That’s a considerable difference.
