Velos Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 When we first started camping a friend of mine used the old Black and Decker snake light around her neck when she would go walking at night. We bought one and loved the flexibility of a cordless free standing light around the rig in addition to evening walks. The proprietary rechargeable batteries finally gave out so we started using the little LED flashlights with low beam, high beam and the flasher mode. Only used the flasher once when a neighbors dog got out on a moonless night and used it to get drivers attention flashing it on the dog. I walk with a walking stick after I was charged by a couple of dogs in an RV park at the beginning of this summer so my hands are full with dog leash and walking stick. Was at Costco yesterday and got one of these "hug lights" http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Light-Huglight-Black-Modes/dp/B00CP2AA42 Just used it this morning to walk my dog at 5 am. Loved it. Very bright light even on low mode and very light weight around the neck. The arms are flexible to adjust easily. My friend bought one for her crafting.

LindaH Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Can you aim the lights? I've been thinking about a light that you can wear around your head for the very same reason as you. I'd want a light that I could aim, though, to make it easier to pick up poop, and to keep an eye out for critters that may be lurking around thinking one of our dogs would make a tasty snack.

Velos Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes you can aim the lights and it comes with three powers; low, medium, high and red. The low was fine and a pretty wide angle; perfect for picking up poo and wide enough to watch for critters on the side. It is light weight around the neck.

Rosita Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I use one of these on the dog's collar: http://www.niteize.com/product/SpotLit.asp There is a smaller version called a "Pet Light", but this one is larger and more visible. Niteize also has LED pet collars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks, JM. Think I'll go by our local Costco and see if they have them in stock. LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 If not in stock have the Costco customer service folks look them up as they may be in a nearby store or due in soon. We do that a lot when something we want is out of stock and they give us a list of how many of the item are at which store or the date they are arriving. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day. Sell a customer a Windows computer and you'll eat for a lifetime.
