Tracker " Flash" light

Just wondering what people think of the tracker flash light. I like lighted collars but these look more convienient and 1 less collar on my dog.
How durable are they and what do they use for batteries? Can I get new ones at wal-mart or do you need to get them from Tracker?

Thanks,

Jimmy

Ihave had mine since March...it came with an extra battery that I still have not had to use...the battery is a common watch style battery that you can get at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I really like that I can put it on an existing collar without running another collar just for the light, the flash setting really gets attention also, however you can set it to burn continuous instead of flash if you like.

I got one a couple months ago and I like it a lot. I keep it on the flashing mode and can see it a long ways in the woods. I got a blue one but will be ordering a couple more.

WILL SAVE YOUR DOG IF THEY GET OUT OF POCKET!!!!!! almost a guarentee

I am really impressed with this light, VERY bright, Drivers can see it blink above their head lights, You can also see what your hound is doing. Running, turning, sitting, stopped, with in vision range.

Tracker "Flasher" Light

I was riding with another co-worker last night we drive for a convenience store here in the midwest. I was telling the guy about my dog business and what I sell. That very moment I was explaining all the items I make and sell, a hound with a blue Tracker light ran across the highway about 1/4 mile in front of us. He had no idea what it was. I knew rightaway it was one of those Tracker lights. You can't go wrong it is an investment to keep your hound safe. I recommend a blue or red those are the two colors I sell the most of. It can't hurt to put a blue and a red on the same dog. If ya think about it what happens when someone sees blue and red light up the road. They SLOW down instantly. Good luck hunting!

nice little lights for the money.
just be sure when you turn light on give the lens a little extra bit of a turn to make sure it's tight. buddys lens turned enough to fall off with dog running through brush it was turning the lens an spun it off.
some thing like the older tri tronics collars, if ant, was on the wrong side of neck it could spin it self out an be lost. other than that no prob with them at all.very bright,we use on flash mode.

Thanks for the opinions. I have a saturn collar that's about shot and thought the flash lights looked handy.

Tracker Flash Light

I like it. A good deal at about $20. Just leave it on the tracking collar, and turn it off and on with a twist.

It's convenient.

It's cheap.

It works very well.

I love them, althou I've lost 3 now the collar guides tear off but still wouldn't trade them for a lighted collar. They're not as bright but you'll see them farther

Tracker Flash Light

Who carries them and which colors can be seen the best ?

Thanks,

KG

Posted by Dan Dogs on 10-25-2009 02:29 PM:

most any supplier has them..blue is the best, but red is ok. i think they have a clear one also, but have never seen it at night. but should be bright.

Posted by matt mcdonnell(kc) on 10-25-2009 04:02 PM:

blue is the best & brightest. i just ordered 2 more from nite lite(huntsmart) that rivot to the collars. the trackers break to easy, i`ve lost 4 so far.

i've been using a blue for a few weeks now, it is very bright. Started using it cause coyotes are pretty thick and had a young dog get into a few about a month ago, no problems so far.

I run the blue and clear. I tape them to the collar with a light on each side. My dogs won't run at night without them!!!!

Tracker Flash Light

Blue, Clear and Red are the best sellers you can also get Green or Orange. Great results when you put blue and clear or blue and red on the same collar. Drivers will hit the brakes every time when they see those colors. I sell them for $20 ea. the batteries last a very long time. I currently have all five colors in stock.
