Light-up dog collars, also called glow in the dark dog collars or LED dog collars, are a major improvement over glow in the dark stuff that used to be on the market. You remember - the kind that you had to hold under a bright light to make it visible with a faint green glow? Those were never bright enough to see for any distance, and the glow faded away in a matter of minutes. It would be pretty hard to train any dog I've ever owned to go and recharge its glow in the dark collar every few minutes by standing under a light. The LED light up collars, though, stay very bright for a long time.
LED light up collars are great for dogs that are going anywhere dark. You can see them from, a loooooooooooooooooong way away. That makes the dog easy to locate for the owner and it makes people other than the owner see that the dog obviously not a stray. Some of our light-up collars and leashes are also reflective, which means that they are much more visible to cars, even from great distance. If you plan to use the light up collars mostly for walking on the side of the road, I strongly recommend using one that lights up AND is reflective, as headlights drown out the LED's light at close range and makes it less eye-catching than one with a reflective quality in addition to the LED light.
The LED collars use very little electricity, so the batteries last for many hours of continuous use. They can also be set to blink mode, which further extends the life of the battery. I have never tested how long the batteries will last, but I imagine the blink mode would last for at least a week with one battery. And the batteries for the light-up collars and leashes are cheap.
The only drawback of the light-up collars for dogs bigger than about ten pounds is water. They are not waterproof, and I am unaware of any light up collars on the market that are waterproof. That would greatly increase the cost of manufacturing the collars, and therefore greatly increase the retail price. Due to the law of cost and demand, waterproof collars are at this time not a profitable product. The ones we sell will stand up to a reasonable amount of rain, but not swimming or a monsoon of rain.
The other drawback of light-up collars only applies to very small dogs - maybe less than 8 pounds. The problem is that the battery pack and the clasp/adjustment buckle, neither of which light up, take up too much of the circumference of the dog's neck. If the dog's neck is only 8" around and the clasp & battery pack take up 4", then only 50% of the dog's neck has the light-up material. For dogs this small, I recommend the round light-up tag (NiteIze SpotLit). The other light-up tags may hang too low from the collar for tiny dogs, causing it to drag on the ground.
Another option for toy dogs is the light-up collar cover. It does not have a clasp or a tightening buckle, so more of its space glows and can be attached over the clasp and tightening buckle of the dog's existing collar. They are not perfect, though. The fiber optic material in the collar covers is stiff, and tends to want to stay straighter than the circle formed by the collar. They are bright, and visible, and they don't bother the dog... But they look kind of goofy in the light.
TealCo.net plans to expand our line of light-up collars and leashes in the near future so that there are more color choices and different brands. If we ever find a USA-made light up collar, we will stock it. If we ever find a waterproof light-up collar, we will stock that, too. Unfortunately, USA-made products like this are virtually nonexistant, and we have yet to come across a waterproof light-up collar at all.
