How does the light hold up to wear and tare of dog running/playing? I am looking for a light not to use simply for walking, but for normal outdoor dog "free run" after dark in the winter, when that is the only time my active lab can get out and exercise.

My two puppies wear them in the backyard. Running, tumbling, and general puppy play they hold up well.

It doesn't work at night. It doesn't work during the day, if you are asking whether it is repelling any animal friend. The animals simply ignore its red light sensor.

Linda, I live in Arkansas and have had the light for about a year. No issues with water and the batteries last a long time. I have woken up around 5 am and the light is still burning. We don't get the rain you do, but he had probably 20 inches of snow this season (I am right next to the Missouri border). No issues as of yet.

These lights are very bright for their size. I have two I slid onto one of my dog's collar I use for night walks and when she is running free in our fenced in backyard and it makes her much easier to see and find at night. I had a motorist in our neighborhood stop a few weeks ago just to comment about what a great night light they were for the dog, so I assume the longer distance visibility is good. The issue of distance is more related to the size of the lights. The size make them easy to use, but harder to see over a long distance. They are about the size of a quarter. My guess is they are visible at least a couple hundred yards or so where someone would recognize them as a safety light. These lights are very bright for their size.

Wow! I really appreciated someone asking about this light. As long as you have a few hours of sun during the day, you'll have at least 8 hours of light at night. Install and forget! It come on @ dusk, and off at dawn. Just crawl up there, and clean the panel occasionally, to maintain peak performance. I live near a canyon in Southern San Diego, which is a natural coyote run. This light provides more than enough lumens to spot those glowing eyes, before they chow down on my two little dachshunds. Semper Fi!

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.

we don't use this in the "on" position for long periods of time to get your answer. however, we have used the light for an hour or so several times and it has worked well. we have not had any issues. i have not yet replaced the batteries since i purchased over one year ago.

Advertised as indoor or outdoor use. I have mine outside (rotten chipmunk has decided to burrow under our driveway and pull out the foundation gravel!) close to the house. Did manage to get one chipmunk so far. Only issue with this product is that the light system doesn't seem to work and I can't tell if the unit is activated.

I believe the instruction say the light should not be operating during the charging cycle (USB cable plugged in). I remove the light from the mounting bracket when I get home and charge it in my house during the evening, that way it is fresh for the next day. I use the light on my commute about 30 minutes a day on the way home at night. I usually charge it up after 3 uses, but I suspect I could go longer.

I have it in a dog house with a light scoket with a regular bulb in it. It works great. There is room left over but I don't know what an adapter looks like. Will look one up on line. Just looked adapter up. Can you describe yours as there are a lot of different ones. The dog loves to read at night :) All kidding aside, it keeps her warm in the winter. Edit: I just check the light cage and with the regular light bulb in there is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches left.

Hi David, sorry I took long time to answer your question. The red part of the collar light up red, like a bright light bulb covered by a red container. Its very bright, I hope I answer the question if you have any other question please don't hesitate on letting me know. I will try to post a pic of my pet wearing the light.

rapid flashing on and off. I love these lights. I use them on my standard poodles @ night so cars coming towards them can see them. Very bright and durable . The girls have them on their collars @ all times. They even went in the water with them on many times @ the beach and the river and they still worked. I had mine for 6 months now. The batteries have been replaced once. You can get batteries from Amazon to fit them @ a great price. I will not be without them. I purchased back ups to ensure that. The dogs ruff house with them on and still they work. I purchased mine in red and white so I can tell which dog is who @ night when they are running around an playing in the dark. rapid flashing on and off. I love these lights.

If you keep moving around in front of the light, it stays on. However, I don't think that's going to be an issue. We have some other lights (not Mr. Beams but similar) which are also wireless, LED, motion-activated, and they're located just off our back porch. We also have two terriers and a doggie door back there. The dogs run in and out at night and set off those lights all the time, and they stay on for a while because the dogs are running around the yard and passing by them frequently. Those lights only have AA batteries in them, yet have been burning well since April without a battery change. The Mr. Beams lights use D batteries, so it's my guess they'll last even longer yet. And the Mr. Beams lights are brighter and were also cheaper than the first lights we bought. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I use the lamp all the time as a reading lamp. It is virtually on all day & night. I've had it for over a year & it hasn't gone out yet.

I am not sure about the light staying lit as my dog is out the door as soon as possible after the collar is put on him. I do know it is not lit when we take it off in the mornings.

many hours :o) It is so fun to throw it at night and watch it bouncing in the dark as your dog brings it back. I have 4 of these and 3 sit in a bowl in house, they glow all the time at night :o)
