Gau Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Hey all, I give me dog a run at the park during the night and I'm in a need for a safety dog light. I want rechargeable, they do say you have to charge quite often but I'll take that over having to replace the batteries even though they do last quite long. All over Australia, it looks like the only one available is Ruffwear beacon light at $45. There seem to be no shortage of lighted up collars though, such as ion collar which for some reason is nearly half the price. Appreciate all recommendations for affordable ones along with a question as to why a lighted up collar is cheaper than a flashing pendant, I would assume the opposite.

Dogsfevr Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Depending on the breed a dog visibility vest is often better and allows quicker spotting or just attach a human torch on the collar for such times ,plenty of small great ones with more power 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have reflector arm bands from Katmandu that I put around the leash. Shine a torch and you can see the dog. I also bought tiny clip on collar lights off Ebay that use watch batteries. You could always attach several to one collar at different points. Not rechargeable of course but the batteries in them seem to last forever and can of course be replaced when they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrr Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Ruffwear has rediculous prices imo I really like these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-Metal-Dog-Cat-Pet-Glowing-Flashing-LED-Safety-Light-Collar-Tag-Pendant-AU/182355655895?hash=item2a753e7cd7:m:mvczmB_o1BRVxNFrPmkIAyQ They clip onto collars and seem to last a few months (turns out they are even waterproof). I've tried other things but $1.30-$1.50 is hard to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gau Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Agreed on the ridiculous prices. Appreciate the recommendations on reflectors, currently not too interested as that would mean having to buy a flashlight too and my current harness has reflectors albeit thin ones. I might add more reflectors in the future. Currently looking into bike lights, they're cheaper and rechargeable (trying to reduce my overall waste). I assume it's because they don't attract the "pet" tax as there is nothing special about a flashing light but add "pet" to the word and now it's twice its price.
