I bought a tracker light at the Grand American (which was unbelievably overwhelming in a good way!!). Got blue cuz I thought it was purdy. Put it on my Garmin collar and turned her loose. It was all good till I saw flashing blue lights coming thru the woods. My heart skipped a beat (or 2). I've seen those blue lights in my mirror before. My right foot has been tested positive for lead if you know what I mean I like it a lot but wish I had a different color.

got double blues on every collar......only problem I got with blue is you have to turn them off when you walking in.....that blue strobe on 2 or 3 dogs is liable to cause seizures.

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

Just about any hiound supply store has them, Nite Lite and others as well, the Nite Lite version is the EXACT same light as the Tracker one, only difference is Tracker puts theres in a rubber grommet to slip on the collar, and is $20, the Nite Lite version has metal clips for you too rivet them on collar for $15, but they are made by the same company I believe it is Egear, I mounted mine permanantly to my garmin collars, so I bought the Nite lite version!!

That's why I would get blue. People might actually slow down if they see that out on the road.

We have used them since they hit the market , but we just don't use 1 ,
We buy 2 different lights and mount them one one collar,
If you use the collar with the "D" ring , you have enough room to mount 1 on top and 1 on bottom , different collars of coarse, and then you can tell if your hound is commin toward you or going away, which works great even if you dont have a trackin system,

Once you get used to useing the lights you'll not want to turn a dog loose without one

I use Sunburst lighted collars mostly for 'yote purposes. However it is cool to see them moving around in the woods with them. I think I like the yellow the best. I don't think BLUE is an option on those although I do prefer BLUE on some things!
