SportDOG Locator Beacon Dog Safety and Location Light

I just love it - using it often, works great, good battery life. Easy to install and operate. I can see my dog in dark far away. For those who do walk late in dark, specially when there is no light on the street and your dog is darker skin - perfect protection - not just YOU see the dog - but the unexpecting driver does too. Tracking at night in woods another good use. I use 2 on 1 collar at 10 minutes to 2 positions. I also purchased this for friends (also few for breeder of my pudelpointer in Czech republic) - everybody loves it. Great present.

The visibility of the light for tracking the exact location is ideal for early morning , dusk and at night. Our GSP is brown so he is difficult to see. Good safety beacon too. On/off button a bit of challenge. Good product- purchased three.

As usual, everything from GDS is top of the line. I use this when Jasper(GSP) and I go out just before sunrise so I can keep track of him in low light. Plenty bright and has never failed, even after days of swimming.

To hard to turn on and off

Difficult to activate.

I can see my dog real easy when hunting at night with these lights on his collar.

Very bright! I would have liked it better if it could fit on every collar, and if it could be rechargeable with USB connection.

Great especially for the 0430 walks before work. I used carabiner to attach the light to his lead, and I've had drivers comment that the flashing is even more visible than my reflectorized vest.

works as advertised
Only problem is too hard turning it off and on

We are running at night during the summer to beat the heat. We run around some public roads. Not only do I feel my dogs are safer now, but I can easily tell now when my dogs cross first lol. One time dogs crossed a bean field at just over a mile according to the Garmin. Could still see these lights pretty well!

Light is very bright, and the strobe feature is nice. The on/off switch seems difficult to find and push for the off/on and strobe modes.

I added this light to my new Garmin 70. With both lights on his collar he is very visible at night. I love it.

Excellent visibility. On/off switch is a bit difficult to work. Other than that it's great!

I bought three of these and they work well. The only negative is that two of the three are sometimes hard to turn off.

The light fits perfectly on the shock collar that we bought before here. The light shines really bright and can be seen at least a half mile away. The two modes work both extremely well, but preferred the constantly on.

So far these lights have been great. I recently purchased the Garmin Delta XC e-collar and these have been a great addition. When I am out running/training my dog at dusk or in the dark these make her extremely visible. I purchased two and position them on each side of the e-collar so I can see here from either side. I read the reviews complaining that they are hard to turn on and off but I like the buttons and their difficulty. They are not going to turn on/off by themselves.

I wish I had a couple of these things years ago. They really do make your dog visible and safer at night.

I gave it 5 stars even with the power button not being the easiest thing to maneuver. Once we figured it out we were better but it would be nice if they come up with an easier way to turn it on and off. I have to use a thumb nail to hold that tiny little button in. That is the only issue I have with it. You won't find a brighter light! We have 1 1/3 acres and he cannot hide at night when this thing is lit! It's great! If it is snowing hard we switch it to strobe light and he is easily visible. It does tend to slide down his shock collar but it hasn't slid off so we are careful. I love it and will probably end up getting a second color.

Bright white light. Seems to work better hanging from the fob that comes with the light otherwise the fur seems to block it out. Works great.

I've been using a blue locator beacon for about a year now and my black lab has tested it thoroughly. Crashing through the the bush, swimming, and wrestling with other dogs. It's still running on the original batteries. I bought the green one for a few reasons. When the light was on the side away from me I wasn't sure where my dog was and at times (ears cover the light sometimes) wasn't sure if he was coming at me or away from me. My dog and I have almost been hit a few times by cars at a four way stop so two light makes us more visible. With two different color lights I know what direction he is going. I recommend this beacon to all my friends who own dogs.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the light goes out after a few minutes when it is cold outside.

These are great for keeping track of my girls when they are in the woods at night. They respond when I call them, but sometimes I just like to let them run, and these lights let me keep track of where they are.

Great product. Gives confidence when blood trailing at night.

This is an excellent product. I can see my dogs at night when I take them for my morning walk. If I had to hunt at night. This would be visible for a long distance. Love the product. I've already suggested it to a friend, and they love theirs too.

This light is great. It straps onto the collar, so it can't fall off. Had a similar version from another dog catalog that starts with O and ends with vis. It was junk for more money. It just clipped on and was gone in a month.

These lights are awesome! They are bright and easy to see in the dark. I take my dog out in the dark, and these are fantastic and easy to see across a 2+ acre field. I'd happily recommend these to anyone wanting to see their dog in the dark.

Very nice and bright.

I am very happy with the brightness of the light, but I find it very difficult to turn on and off.

Works well. Nice for early morning walks.
