Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CMI #22000-012C Pet Strobe
Customer Review: Best flashing strobe - small design glitch easily overcome
Summary: 4 Stars
It really deserves five stars ... I'll explain my rating in a bit.
I own a black lab / beagle mix -- behaves like a beagle, but looks like a lab puppy -- ALL black. As a night owl, I tend to walk the dog during the day AND late at night. Because I usually walk in my quiet neighborhood, I never gave the visibility issue much thought -- until I saw another person walking a black dog at night with a flashing red strobe. It REALLY stood out.
For safety's sake, getting something similar for my dog seemed like a very good idea.
After looking at several designs, I liked this one best -- and I wan't disappointed at all. Its rotating flash design includes a light pointing straight down and three radiating out horizontally in different directions. Unlike some strobes that blink in only one direction, this design allows it to be seen from a long distance no matter what direction the dog is facing.
Also, it's designed to hang down, not stay tucked up next to the collar. This helps it be seen from a distance, and makes it especially beneficial and practical for longer-haired dogs.
By the way, the strobe does not flash too fast, --more like 'just right.' I would describe it as "very noticable, but not annoying."
On the down side, when it comes time to change the batteries (there are two), the 2nd one to come out sometimes gets hung up. A small paper clip can be used to coax it out.
That's it. And that glitch is easily surmountable.
I highly recommend this strobe -- phenomenally easy to put on/take off, and it can be seen easily from a long distance.
I'd give it five stars, but that battery issue takes it down a half a notch. Personally, I've looked closely at a lot of these things, and I'll buy nothing else but this strobe.
