Using the Leuchtie light collar

Using the Leuchtie light collar is easy; the collar is OFF when the battery part is facing up and ON when the battery part is turned down. The operation is based on an automatic ON-OFF switch inside the battery part. So, the collar has no extra switches and doesn't need to be opened unnecessarily. The OFF mode activates when the battery part has been facing up for about 1 minute.

The Leuchtie light collar is 100% waterproof, so your dog can even swim with it on. It is made in Germany from moisture- and dirt-repellent material.

Battery

The Leuchtie Plus light collar runs on two AAA batteries, and the operating time with one set of batteries is up to 100 hours. When the collar starts to dim, replace the batteries to make it shine brightly again.

Choosing the color of your Leuchtie

All Leuchtie collars, regardless of shade, are clearly visible in dim and dark conditions, so you can confidently choose the color you like best! 

A darker shade plastic shell, however, tints the bright light of the LEDs somewhat more than transparent or light-colored plastic shells. When choosing a color, it might be good to consider these factors:

• If your dog usually walks on a leash close to you, a slightly less bright / warm shade might be more pleasant for your eyes in the dark. Such colors include red, orange, pink, and yellow.
• If your dog often runs free and farther away from you, you might want to maximize the brightness of the light. The brightest colors are cool tones like lavender with transparent plastic, turquoise, and neon green.

Choosing the size of the Leuchtie light collar

• Measure the snug circumference at the widest part of the dog's head, usually in front of the ears. See the example in the picture below.
• Choose the Leuchtie size closest to this measurement. If your dog is between sizes, it is usually best to choose the smaller size.

If your dog's ears are not particularly large and protruding, you don't need to consider them when choosing the Leuchtie size. The Leuchtie size should be chosen small enough so that the collar does not slip over the ears by itself even if the dog sniffs the ground. 

The collar comes with an attachment loop, which allows you to securely fasten the Leuchtie to a regular collar or harness if desired. This is especially good to do if you buy a Leuchtie with growth room for a young dog.

Below you can see a reference table with example breeds. If at all possible, always measure the specific dog before ordering, as there are differences between individuals.

Leuchtie is also available in:

• version for small dogs: Leuchtie Mini
• available as an accessory Leuchtie Cones "horns", which make the light shine even better through long fur
