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

We live on 10 acres of farmland and neighbors with livestock. I can see where my dog is and isn't with just one of these locator Beacons. Great product! I use it with one of Gun Dog Supply's reflective collars every night while checking sprinklers etc...

This is a very bright light, and I especially like the strobe feature, which makes it very easy to see my dog in the woods at night.

I bought one last fall for keeping track of my Lab while I set up for ducks in the dark. I hunt mostly public land, and mostly by myself, so I usually have to carry my gear long distances from the truck and make several trips. I let him run around during this time to burn up some energy, and the light really helps me keep tabs on him. I liked the light so much that I just bought two more (one to hang on my truck, and one to put on my gear), so I can go straight from one to the other easily in the dark.

Light is large and bright. A much smaller LED would have been sufficient for locating the dogs. A smaller light would take less collar space while extending battery life.

Works great have not had any problems with it yet. A worry about these lights is that if the dog hits a tree wrong, the light might come unscrewed. It is a very simple twist that makes the battery compartment come apart which would cause the light to fall apart.

The opening to slide the collar through could be opened up a little more. Had to modify with a file to get it to slide through.

Biggest issue is the on/off button. Very difficult to get to, and to have the light blink, I need to first press the button for 2 seconds, release and then press again. Given how hard it is for fat fingers to get to the tiny button, it is very frustrating. As far as light goes, the green is the highest visibility. It is very good.

These are not as good as the rubber ones I bought 6 years ago, however the button for turning on is superior than turning the lense (which was hard to turn on the previous ones.)

We definitely like the simplicity - On - Off - Blinking. I don't need 10 different blinking patterns for $10 more like other sites offer. We use it to walk in the evening, so attaching it to the leash is easy, and when she wants to run on her own it is simple to transfer to the collar. If there is one issue it would be that the button is a bit difficult to press. I suspect it is because of the waterproofing rubber seal. Construction quality is excellent.

These beacon lights are awesome. Not only do they allow you to visualize where your hound is at, but the blue and green flashing light also keeps coyotes back from single male dogs hunting by themselves. Steve and everyone at gun dog supply are great. Couldn't ask for better customer service and fast shipping.

Love this light for when we are out blood trailing deer in the evenings. I combine this light and the brass bell, and I have no problem finding my dog in the thick of it all. I also use it when going for a run in the evening, so that my dog and I are visible to traffic.

I bought these to allow a visual for locating my dogs while out running. The lights really help locate them in low light and in the dark. They are bright enough to reflect off the trees, so you can even see the area they're in before you can see the dog's collar. Great product, and its a good solid bracket that fits their collars well. Very satisfied.

Great light. Kids do have a difficult time of turning it on and off. Not sure if that is a pro or con. If it were easier, the Lab would probably be turning it on and off. I don't think I would want it made differently. 5 stars.

Bought the blue and green ones. They are very bright! Perfect at night. I could turn it on and off with my fingernail. Not sure what others are complaining about having to use a sharp instrument. Great product and fast shipping from GDS.

We have working border collies (and a flock of about 200 sheep). The lights are highly visible and very helpful in showing us (and others) where the dogs are when working at night/dusk/dawn. However, the on/off button is very difficult to use, and we find ourselves needing to remove the collar to adjust the light. This is exactly the type of product we need, but it would be even better if the button is revised in a future model.

My dog likes to roam in the woods at night smelling tracks. This light is extremely bright, and I can keep my eye on him at all times. The only downside is the clip that attaches to the bottom. It's not very secure, and he lost it on day one. I had it turned off "too bad". If it was on, I'm sure I would have found it. If the clip was better, I would have given it five stars.

Our Teddy Bear doesn't know he's not a hunter. We live on an acre that has a field behind it, and he loves "hunting" squirrels, rabbits, etc. So at night this makes it very easy for us to see exactly where he's "wondered" off to. It's great!

The old versions, as far as mounting, were better. Could not slide onto collar as the width of the opening is too small. Would only work with very thin collars. Have to hang on collar, so most likely will be lost at some point. Older versions could easily fit your collars we buy. Disappointed in that the light is nice and bright, but the on-off button is very hard to use.

When I get more money, I will purchase three more. These lights are awesome. It gets so dark here under trees and especially on moonless nights. I will take the advice from the video and purchase two for each dog. Sometimes when the light is on top, the lights will be hidden in their fur or something. These lights are awesome and I can tell my dogs apart in the dark and cars can see them in the street. I prefer to have a light on each side so the light can never be hidden. Well worth the money.

I think GunDogSupply.com should have told customers that this light is not compatible with the K-9 Komfort TufFlex Collar. The slots in this light are too narrow for the thickness of the K-9 Komfort TufFlex Collar. The reason I gave this light a bad review is because 1. the light didn't work out of the box (-1) and 2. when I called customer support at SportDOG, they really couldn't care less (-2). That is why it got a bad rating.

Beacon does not fit on a thick leather collar, so you have to use a thin nylon or rubber collar. The on button guarded from being accidentally shut off which is good, but almost too good. You have to use a pointy implement to activate, then go through cycles to turn the device off, cumbersome. Lights up well though, we'll see how well it lasts.

We live the country with low ambient light. This is very bright. I bought three of them to go around his collar. We walk at night leash free, and I can see him 50 yards in any direction. If you buy this light, get different colors, that way you can tell which way the dog is moving.
