This Winter scene beautifully captured by Sarah in Belgium shows the purity of our LED colours and the power of our lights. We couldn’t have wished for a better example to demonstrate how our safety lights RGB LED’s are enhanced by our photopolymer lens to create a world of colour and in this image, a festival of light. You will also notice that many of the beautiful dogs are not facing the camera but you can see the lights very clearly due to the “all round” visibility the lens produces. This image was taken with the lights all in constant mode, this is one of 5 light modes available in every Scarab Dog Light (2020 versions onwards). Scarab is the only collar/harness fitting light that offers you adjustable intensity and believe us when we say you can see it from over 4KM should you need power as well as beauty. Scarab dog lights weigh just 23g so your dog wont even notice it but the need for safety and being seen when out with your dogs means you can be assured road users and cyclists see you. Off the lead you will know instantly where your dog is plus the “light bounce” of objects around your dog such as surfaces, undergrowth and hedges, enhance their position greatly as you see in Sarah’s image. Just look at the road to see the reflection and this is running in constant mode at some 10% of the lights true intensity, truly an amazing photograph, thank you Sarah.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT on NEW SCARAB ULTRA

What is in a Dog Light, well in Scarab products amid all the other technology, there is a micro processor that has enough memory to perform all the tasks required by the user. Battery charging management, power management, the ability to adjust the intensity of the light and allow you to select a colour and light mode, and operate the light efficiently so you get a maximum run time, quite a lot you would agree!

For this year’s new product addition, we have been flat out looking at what we could do and our engineers did not disappoint, a software programme that “morphs” the RGB LED inside the ULTRA. This is a blend of all the 3 colour LED to produce a cascade of colour choice by simply pressing and releasing the 2 buttons once you have found a shade you like. We describe it as “Morph selection”.

The ULTRA has all the light modes you would expect with a premium dog light and maintains our core philosophy of rechargeable technology to save the planet.

The Essential Winter Dog Accessory

Part of your dog’s walking kit more vital than a favourite ball, coat or throwing toy is a dog safety light, you would curse if a cyclist went by without any lights on and your dog is no different.
However, a dog light must meet certain criteria for it to keep you and your dog safe and with many factors affecting the lights performance when in use. Unless the light you buy meets these factors, you may as well risk the dark and potential hazards we experience when outside in low light conditions without one. With increased traffic on our roads and less people using public transport, walking your dog can be quite stressful and cause you to limit how much time you spend exercising your best friend, let’s make it more pleasurable and safer, here's how.
You can buy cheaper, less powerful lights and they will switch on and off, but the first thing you should check is the viewing angle, will they get your dog seen from all sides, can you adjust the intensity to suit your journey, and do they reflect off hedges and grass verges giving additional visibility? Do they work with fur or are they obscured, limiting the road user’s ability to see them? How secure are they when on the dog, do they cause a potential snagging hazard, and do they offer long operating times? Do they work in wet conditions, and did you know that flashing lights are seen far quicker than constant lights, a point that could be the difference between injury or not?
Rechargeable products are very popular nowadays, mobile phones have really set the bar and changed people’s attitudes, it used to be that rechargeable products were far dearer than battery operated goods but now as the technology widens and more and more goods are rechargeable, the prices are not so different, which is extremely good for the planet and your pocket. Over the length of winter you can be forgiven for thinking replacement dog light batteries are helping save the world as they are so small, you can spend little on the product but LOTS on replacing the batteries, thus making a rechargeable product the right choice and especially if it offers a long run time, a full suite of accessories, a choice of light settings and LED colours and satisfies all the above criteria making the buying decision so much easier.
Scarab Dog Lights have been carefully developed by outdoor people who know the rigours of portable lighting kit along with the added challenge of it being strapped to your dog haring around in all types of conditions.
Don’t let the dark restrict your dog’s activity plans, they and you need to be outside and with the right gear attached you can have peace of mind that you and your dog are visible and secure on and off the lead. Visit www.scarabbeacon.com/buy-scarab-beacon/
