Functionality Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
The motion sensor switches on automatically when the battery compartment points downwards and the LEUCHTIE is in motion. If the battery compartment faces upwards, it slowly switches off after approx. 1 minute. Therefore, suspend the LEUCHTIE e.g. on a hook for storage.
The impressive benefits
- Particularly for visually handicapped / older / insecure dogs
The two LEDs located on the right and left side of the battery compartment (the first and the fifth LED of the LEUCHTIE) are pointing at the way in front of the dog and illuminating it a bit. This can help making dogs feel much more secure and comfortable in the dark. That way we`re able to improve the quality of their lives again and reduce the risk of injuries.1
- Additional safety for the dog
Wearing a LEUCHTIE of the Senior Edition, dogs stay just as well visible over large distances for both owners and other road users as wearing a normal LEUCHTIE.
- Extreme brightness without fading Info
The strong luminosity remains constant with weekly recharging. This way, your dog is clearly visible from all sides and hundreds of metres away, guaranteeing the greatest safety possible for dogs and humans.
- 100 % waterproof
Swimming and diving are easily possible.
- Extra long burn time of at least 25 h
Charge only once a week overnight thanks to energy-efficient technology and the latest LEDs.
The color “green, transparent tube (extra bright)” offers approx.120 h runtime per charge, all other colors at least 25 h.
- Operation with 2 standard rechargeable batteries
- commercially available: nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries (NiMH), 1.2 V, type AAA
- robust and reliable: deliberate avoidance of lithium-ion batteries Info
- powerful: at least 25 h burn time per charge
- very low self-discharge (LSD)
- replaceable if necessary: no new LEUCHTIE is required
- no memory effect: can be recharged flexibly at any time.
Recommendation:
Charge your LEUCHTIE once a week overnight (alternatively after 10 - 15 hours of operation).
This has the following advantages:
- maximum burn time and brightness due to full batteries
- shorter charging times
- optimal protection of the batteries (more charging cycles
- Flexible power supply
Thanks to the USB-charging station you can conveniently recharge the LEUCHTIE using a PC or a power supply unit.

LEUCHTIE stands for the highest quality: Extremely robust and absolutely reliable with hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers worldwide since 2003.
- Protection against loss
An attachment loop is included to affix the LEUCHTIE to a collar or harness.
- Intense colors
Thanks to eye-catching colors and color combinations, dogs are clearly visible over long distances and are easy to distinguish in the dark.
- MADE IN GERMANY
Since 2003, we have been crafting LEUCHTIEs at our facility in Weiden / Bavaria.
- Social responsibility
Part of the preparatory work is carried out in special education centers and enables people with physical or mental disabilities to receive individual support.
We avoid the exploitation of people and the environment typical of low-wage countries as far as possible and act accordingly: We manufacture our LEUCHTIEs in Germany and attach great importance to quality when selecting our materials and suppliers.
- Sustainability
LEUCHTIE is not a disposable item:
In the event of damage we will provide you with reliable support, repair service and low-cost spare parts.
1 Please note:
The "headlight effect" might be reduced by long coat that would cover the LEUCHTIE or floppy ears. Please get in touch with us before ordering to figure out whether a LEUCHTIE of the Senior Edition is suitable for your dog.
In the case of dense stockhaired or longhaired fur, we recommend to choose the senior edition 1-2 numbers larger, depending on the coat condition. So the LEUCHTIE sits lower on the neck and the two LEDs turned forward reach out of the dog's fur. To reliably prevent losing it, we advise to fix it on the collar / harness with an additionally available extra long attachment loop. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Choosing the right LEUCHTIE size for your dog
LEUCHTIE will be placed over the dog's head as closed ring and turns on and off automatically.
Consequently, for choosing the right size you have to measure the dog's head circumference, not the neck (for exceptions see point 3).
- Please put a tape measure tightly around the widest part of the dog’s head, just in front of the ears.
If you don't have a tape measure, please use a piece of string which you can use around the head and then measure with a ruler. Please measure tightly.
- Select the LEUCHTIE size closest to this measurement from the list provided.
If you meausure between two sizes, please choose the smaller size preferably.
- Does your dog have a larger neck than head circumference, e. g. due to dense, long-haired fur on the neck (Australian Shepherd, Collie, Newfoundland etc.)?
Then please measure the neck circumference as an additional size at the place and in the width on / in which the LEUCHTIE should be and orient yourself more towards this when choosing the size.
