LED Collar & Reflectors: Easy to See When the Evenings Draw In

LED Collar & Reflectors: Safe Through Dusk and Darkness

In autumn and winter, many walks take place in the dark. A dark-coated dog is then hard for drivers and cyclists to spot. With a light-up collar or reflectors, your dog is easy to see. Here you'll find Maxi Safe LED collars that can be cut to size, the Light & Reflex light-up collar with a flashing light, a clip-on LED safety band, an LED lead and reflective leads and coats.

Self-Illuminating or Reflective

LED collars light up actively and can be seen from a long way off in the dark, up to 500 metres depending on the model. They stand out even when no headlights are shining on your dog, for example on country paths or in the park. Reflectors, on the other hand, only light up when light falls on them, but they don't need a battery. The safest option is a combination of both, for example a light-up collar and a reflective lead or a reflective coat.

Practical in Everyday Life

Many LED collars can be cut to length and adjusted to fit any neck. You simply attach a clip-on LED band to your dog's existing collar or harness. A flashing mode draws extra attention, while a steady light is often more comfortable for your dog. Charge the collar regularly or check the battery before your walk. For yourself, a head torch is worth having, so you can see where your dog is sniffing and what it picks up.

Frequently asked questions

Does the light on the collar bother my dog?
Most dogs quickly get used to a light-up collar, because the light shines outwards and not into their eyes. If your dog is unsure at first, start with a steady light rather than the flashing mode and reward it when you put the collar on.

How long does the battery of an LED collar last?
That depends on the model and the light mode. In flashing mode, one charge usually lasts much longer than with a steady light. It's best to recharge the collar after every longer walk, so it's always ready.

Is a light-up collar waterproof?
Most light-up collars are protected against rain and splashes, but they're often not suitable for swimming. Take the collar off before your dog jumps into the water and let it dry well after wet walks.
