Functionality Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
The magnetic sensor is switched on and off using the supplied magnet. The magnetic sensor is located in the light tube, opposite the tip of the battery compartment. To switch your LEUCHTIE on and off, pass the magnet closely over this point.
Tip:
As an alternative to the supplied magnet, you can use another sufficiently strong magnet, e.g. your mobile phone.
The impressive benefits
- Particularly low running costs
Just 1 set of batteries for the whole winter!
Commercially available AAA alkaline batteries guarantee extremely low battery costs of approx. 1 Cent per hour. The LEUCHTIE Plus is a great alternative to rechargeable LED dog collars.
- Extremely long burn time
You do not have to worry about the energy supply for many months. After approx. 100 hours simply and quickly replace the batteries - and your LEUCHTIE is ready for use again for many more months.
- Enormously bright on all sides
Very bright and hand-picked LEDs make your dog visible from all sides and hundreds of me-tres away, guaranteeing the greatest safety possible for dogs and humans. 
- 100 % waterproof
Swimming and diving are possible.
- Durable and reliable
LEUCHTIE stands for the highest quality: Extremely robust, completely reliable and globally proven in its use hundreds of thousands of times since 2003.
- Protection against loss
The provided attachment loop that is fastened to the collar or harness prevents the LEUCHTIE from getting lost.
- Strong luminous colours
Thanks to the range of colours and colour combinations available dogs are clearly visible over large distances and can easily be differentiated in the dark.
- MADE IN GERMANY
Since 2003, we have been crafting LEUCHTIEs at our facility in Weiden / Bavaria.
- Social responsibility
A part of the preparatory tasks is carried out in curative educational centres and makes it possible to provide people with physical or mental disabilities with individual support.
We avoid the exploitation of people and the environment that is typical of production in low-wage countries as far as possible and act consistently:
We manufacture our LEUCHTIEs in Germany and attach great importance to quality when se-lecting 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.
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.

Breed examples |
| Weight specifications as well as breed examples are merely empirical values, not binding information. The LEUCHTIE size can vary depending on the physique, gender and texture of the fur; bitches for example tend to wear one size smaller than males and dogs with long fur at the neck often wear a number bigger than shorthaired dogs. |
