LED Torchrepositioning Blukar Head Torch Rechargeable, 2000L I recently purchased the Blukar Head Torch, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with its performance. The 2000L brightness is truly remarkable. It lights up even the darkest areas with ease, making it perfect for nighttime dog walking, running, hiking, and emergencies. The six lighting modes offer great versatility, allowing you to adjust the brightness based on your needs—whether you're looking for a soft light for close tasks or a powerful beam for long-distance visibility. The headlamp is lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The adjustable angle feature is a game-changer, letting you direct the light exactly where you need it without having to reposition the entire headlamp. The hands-free sensor control is particularly convenient, allowing you to turn the light on and off with a simple wave of your hand. With over 30 hours of runtime, the rechargeable battery is impressive. I’ve used it for multiple outdoor activities without needing a recharge. This headlamp is waterproof, and it has held up well in light rain and mist. The sturdy construction gives me confidence that it can handle the rigours of outdoor use. LED Dog Collar Bands Flashing Dog Collar Bands The best thing we bought our dog to stand out was an LED dog collar band. There are three settings, quick flash, slow flash and on all the time. The unit is charged via a USB lead and lasts for hours before needing to be recharged. The collar can be cut down to suit your do with little ease. The collar is also waterproof and comes in five different colours, green, blue, orange, pink and red. Glow Ball Chuck-it - Max Glow Ball If your dog is as mad about balls as ours you will know when it comes to darker nights it becomes hard to play with the ball in the park or on the beach. We have owned a couple of different Glow Balls, but the 'Chuck-it Max Glow' is definitely the best we have come across. No batteries are needed, well only for your touch. You shine a torch into the end of the ball for a couple of minutes and t he ball glows green. It is soft and whistles as it flies through the air, both the dog and I love this ball on darker nights. Hi-Vis Coat BALEAF Rain & Windbreaker Jacket As well as keeping your dog the same, you also need to be seen and safe. The jacket by Baleaf has an interior that has a laminated TPU membrane with 5000mm waterproofing and 3000g/m2/24hr breathability. Cool and dry thanks to the back ventilation system. The hem of the jacket is anti-skid to prevent it from riding up. Low-light safety with reflective stripes and a reflective logo design and you can securely store your items like a 5.5" mobile phone in six pockets: one back pocket, one chest pocket, two hand pockets, and two inner pockets. During rainy days, the hood prevents rain from getting into your eyes. Suitable for cycling, running, hiking, jogging, climbing, camping and other outdoor activities. Updated 26/10/2024
