Tracer E-Collar Light

Tri-Tronics Tracer E-Collar Light - Redpurchased this together with "Tri-Tronics Sport Basic G3 Training Collar"

it is easy enough to assemble and use

although with that transmitter model you don't have a remote turn on/off you use the "buzz" button while touching transmitter to the receiver.

also light will stay on even if the receiver is turned off.

so brightness if you are looking directly at it it's kinda bright looking.

but if your dog has a long or even medium coat it is mostly hidden.

Before buying this (and after) I've been using a normal human headlamp (petzl) to walk the dog at night we usually go out really late and with an almost black dog off leash you need some way to know where the dog is, and for that this thing (the Tracer) does not help much.

And I am not talking about 1/2 mile more like 30 feet in a neighborhood with no street lights and some grass filled empty lots can't see him.

So I am still using the head lamp not super-bright just an old petzl with 3 leds and 3 AAA batteries, for any medium sized dog it's not too heavy, and even if you can't see the petzl you can see the bright spot on the ground it sort of points at the dog's feet a little more forward and it would look like he is lighting his way with a headlamp.

so while I would have preferred a single rechargeable unit with light and control collar there are cheaper and more visible things you can do.

I recommend these lights for walking your dogs at night. The lights were easy to install. You will need a phillips screwdriver with a small head. Definitely worth the money.
