While testing the qualities listed above, we made some observations that are worth mentioning. Color matters As a result of the double sealing process, the collars are 100% waterproof, moisture and dirt resistant, even swimming is no problem. We recommend buying an LED collar in addition to a good day-to-day collar and swap over to an LED dog collar when you need the extra visibility. Conclusion

The installed Superflux LEDs are special high-performance LEDs built for industrial use, which emit a very strong coloured light even at the lowest power consumption. Unlike light bulbs, they also are absolutely insensitive to vibrations and are therefore extremely durable. Even though the nylon LED collars we tested were durable, these products contain electrical components that offer another point of failure. I 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. Weatherproof– Resistant to light rain and light snowfall, but prolonged exposure may damage the collar. The Leuchtie LED Plus dog collar is designed for medium and large dog breeds and is 100% waterproof, with a 2 year guarantee.

2022: We are merging our product range

Some owners go so far as to slip an LED collar on their dog when their dog goes potty outside at night. This way they can ensure their dog doesn’t wander too far. I have tried a couple of the lit dog collars in the past, but have been a little put off by the disco effect, flashing lights that you often find on collars of this type. It was for that reason, that I was interested in trying out the Leuchtie LED dog collar. Made in Germany, these collars contain 3 or 4 very bright LED lights (depending on the size you buy), are guaranteed for 2 years with many of the parts replaceable, and are waterproof. This last point was particularly desirable considering the wet weather we usually experience in the UK.

The LEUCHTIE Plus represents the further development of the Standard model and offers many advantages: There is also a range of other LED dog accessories, including leashes, harnesses and even clip-on lights that all light up. These products provide an alternative means of visibility. For example, maybe you have a Pug that can’t wear collars. I also review these light-up products. When we interviewed customers, there seemed to be confusion between the phrases weatherproof and waterproof.The range of colours and sizes meant that I was able to find something for each of the dogs, and I opted for different colours so that I could tell which dog was which in the dark. No matter what the dogs were doing, I was able to clearly see them and the collar was visible at all times. Using an LED collar even when the dogs were on the lead was also beneficial as it made them a lot more visible to cars and other pedestrians, which provided further peace of mind.
