Nite Ize SpotLit LED Clip-On Safety Light

It's light and works great as a tent lamp. I wouldn't use it as a reading light (I bought the red light for night vision) but it's great for just about everything else ;).

I use the red one as a very lightweight tent light when I am out on a hike. It just clips onto one of the little loops on the ceiling of my little tent. It weighs about half an ounce, if that, so it sure beats my 8 oz battery powered LED lamp. It's not as bright, but I don't need it to be. The batteries have lasted me through several outings, probably 20 hours so far. If I need brighter light then I put on my headlamp.

I wouldn't trust this to be waterproof, but it has survived a few rain showers with no problems. I would call it weatherproof, but maybe only dunk resistant. The electronics are so basic that if it does get wet just pop it open and let it dry.

Since I really prefer to have a tent light, this little gadget has saved me a significant amount of pack weight. So far it's been reliable and easy to use. I recommend it.

Got this for my dog to use on nighttime walks, or to keep track of him around the campsite after dark, but it also works great as a tent light, key light, etc... It's super bright, and also has a flashing mode.

After 4 differnt models of nite ize I can tell you it's dont have a strong light and it' dont like rain

I walk my dog a lot. Living in Seattle during the fall and winter months means it's dark outside by about 5:00pm, so our evening walks are typically in the dark and often in the rain. We have used the same Nite Ize SpotLit LED for three years. It's held up really well and changing the battery is pretty easy. It puts out a good amount of light and makes is easy to see our Bernese Mountain Dog. It's easy to attach and remove from the collar ring.

I recommend these for anyone that wants an easy to use light for their pup.

Donald,
Thank you so much, Have fixed both of them. There were no instructions and no yellow tag..but you have saved me the trouble of taking them back to the camping shop and looking like a fool. They are great wee lights, our border terriers now won't be able to disappear at night in the farmyard. Many thanks.
Cheers, Jedda

This is the second one I have purchased. The first one worked great, it is bright and easy to work. The only problem is that my puppy got a hold of his collar (we take it off to give him a bath) and chewed the light to pieces. No big deal, just need a replacement. I have the replacement and it works great. If you have a big yard and a dog who likes to hide, if you go camping and want to make sure you know where fido is, if you go on walks at night and don't want your pup to get hit just as much as you don't want to get hit, or if you think it's cool your dog's collar has a light up tag...get this. It rocks.

I am returning the Spotlit immediately. I had to press the "on" button 5 or 6 times to get the light to turn on. Then I had to press it 5 or 6 times to get the light to turn off. After pressing the "on" button again 6 or 7 times, the light would not turn on at all. The "on" button is very stiff and won't budge. I don't know if it's a problem with the light I received or if it's a trait of this beast to be so obstinate! Don't waste your time or money! Get a Princeton Tec Pilot squeeze light instead. It's much easier to produce light with it.

Just remember to read the directions- you need to press it for ten seconds to get it off trial mode. After I figured that out, I think this is one of the coolest gizmos out there- a great thing to have on your keychain for extra durable light, and for attaching permanently to your bag when you're biking at night. Seems very durable too. You do have to press it firmly to get it on and off, but that better than a light that turns on by itself in my bag, and then is drained by the time I go home. Also, I don't have to worry about someone stealing it off my bike if it's in my bag...Great price for some extra light.

I like a bunch of products from this company but not this one. It's practically impossible to turn off or on, you have to squeeze it so hard. I sent it back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I use this light (blinking) on my dog's collar and find it impossible for him to break by rolling on rocks....but the push button switch only lasts so long. I can usually get 40-50 hours out of it--then a battery change and another 40 hours but it is the switch that becomes harder, less consistent and finally gives out. I have to paint the edges with marine tape to tolerate the dog's occasional swim in the salt-water Bay. Still it shows up at a distance and beats out the other lights on the market for this purpose.

Simple solution for me. I'm actually using a pair of these as spotlights on my 2 burner camp stove so I dont have to have a headlamp while I'm cooking. Excellent burn time and illumination. I don't have a dog...that I know of.

Well lets face it, DOG'S like to get wet. If there is a stream or lake or any body of water the dogs want to get in. The problem with this is that you don't think about taking it off before they go for their swim. I have has mine fail because there was moisture in it and it did not want to stay on. It still works, so that is a plus, but I thought that this would be something that I could leave on the collar. I would not suggest it. This is great if you walk your dog at night and will not be by any water for them to soak this in. Take it off after the walk and keep it with the leash and you will be happy. Keep it on your keys when you are not walking the dog and have a little extra light close at hand.
