Does the LEUCHTIE have different light settings?
No
We deliberately do without different light settings, such as hectic flashing or the like. In our experience, many dogs are unsettled by blinking, especially when it is fast or arrhythmic. Also oncoming dogs often react irritated - tense encounters and conflicts can be the result. In addition, also for many dog owners a flashing light collar is very disturbing.
Therefore we have designed the LEUCHTIEs out of conviction - based on our many years of experience as dog owners - in such a way that they shine exclusively as very bright permanent light. This helps making dogs feel much more secure and comfortable in the dark.
In addition, the luminosity of the LEUCHTIEs is so strong that they make dogs clearly visible from all sides even over long distances - so it is absolutely unnecessary to attract additional attention by an annoying blinking mode.
Does the LEUCHTIE dazzle me?
No, even for us humans the strong luminosity of the LEUCHTIE is very seldom disturbing. But the individual perception of brightness can obviously differ. If your eyes are very sensitive, we recommend that you choose your LEUCHTIE to match:
Does the bright light bother my dog?
No, LEUCHTIEs do not obstruct dogs, because they shine as a bright permanent light. We deliberately avoid hectic flashing or other light settings out of conviction, in order not to unsettle your own dog as well as other dogs and not to disturb us humans. On the contrary, it often happens that the bright continuous light of the LEUCHTIEs helps making dogs feel much more secure and comfortable in the dark.
In this way, we reliably guarantee the safety of your dog and also that of our fellow human beings when going for a walk and in traffic.
If your dog has problems putting on a collar / harness, we recommend making sure that the LEUCHTIE only starts to glow when the dog is wearing it, not already when you put it on.
How do I know which LEUCHTIE model I have?
To identify which LEUCHTIE model you have, please look at the size sticker on your LEUCHTIE. Currently sold LEUCHTIEs have the model name on the size sticker.
For older LEUCHTIEs, you can tell the model by the colour of the sticker:
silver sticker: LEUCHTIE Standard or Plus
black sticker: LEUCHTIE Premium or Premium Easy Charge
white sticker: LEUCHTIE Plus, Plus Easy Charge or Pro Easy Charge
Where are the electronics in the LEUCHTIE?
The electronics of the LEUCHTIE are in the tube. In the battery pack are only either 2 standard batteries or 2 rechargeable batteries inserted, depending on the model.
Does the LEUCHTIE also work with long-haired dogs?
Yes. Thanks to very bright LEDs, all LEUCHTIEs offer great brightness and safety for your dog.
But there are differences in luminosity:
The longer, denser and darker the coat of your dog is, the stronger the luminosity of the LEDs should be. The following colours tend to be perceived as the brightest and most conspicuous: 1) green in a transparent tube (extra bright), 2) turquoise, 3) lavender, 4) white, 5) blue in a transparent tube, 6) ice-blue.
How does the phosphorescent battery pack work?
The phosphorescent battery pack glows after being illuminated with light, slowly releasing the previously recorded ambient light in the dark. How bright it shines, depends on the amount of light previously recorded.
With the phosphorescent battery part, the LEUCHTIE can be easily located when it is off or has opened, in the unfortunate event the dog should lose it.
Is the light collar waterproof?
Yes
All LEUCHTIE models are 100 % waterproof. Even swimming and diving are easily possible.
Is a LEUCHTIE heavy?
No, LEUCHTIEs are very light and comfortable for dogs to wear.
By using filigree components, often custom-made products developed together with our suppliers, they meet the special requirements of small and light dogs.
The weight of a LEUCHTIE depends on its size:
Mini LEUCHTIEs weigh approx. 55 g, the models for the bigger dogs, from size 35, approx. 110 g.
Please note: The robust looking battery pack is not solid: it consists of the tubular battery compartment and a cover on both sides. Therefore this also has a very low weight and does not hinder the dog.
Which colours are brightest?
In addition to the models, designed for different requirements, the LED colour also has an effect on the brightness of the LEUCHTIE: The luminosity of the different colours varies. Therefore, in addition to the personal taste, the respective requirements on the LEUCHTIE are also important for the selection, e. g. how long and dark is the coat on the neck or how far away is the dog. The following colours tend to be perceived as the brightest (list in descending order of brightness):
1) green in a transparent tube (extra bright), 2) neon green, 3) turquoise, 4) white, 5) lavender in a transparent tube, 6) iceblue.
If the dog is usually near you and has short coat on the neck, colours with a slightly lower luminosity would be recommended, such as sunset orange, sunny yellow or hot pink.
Which size does my dog need?
How to determine the right 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).

Why does the LEUCHTIE not have a switch?
Our LEUCHTIEs have been working since 2003 according to the principle "What isn't there can't break".
Our goal at that time was to combine the simplest handling with the highest functionality. Therefore, LEUCHTIEs work with a sensor - we deliberately do without a failure-prone switch or push button, because this wouldn't be in line with our demand for quality and durability. By switching on and off via a sensor, nothing can wear out and water or dirt cannot penetrate in the first place. Result: LEUCHTIEs are absolutely waterproof, very robust and extremely durable.
