Ideal running buddies: the dog and Orbiloc Safety Lights

Your faithful four-legged friend is of course the ideal running buddy. But so are the Orbiloc Safety Lights. With these super robust safety lights, you and your dog can safely run together in the dark. With the Orbiloc K9 Pack, you make this golden combination a reality!

Contagious happiness

Number one on countless New Year’s resolutions: exercise more. Your dog can help. After all, your four-legged friend makes running fun, even on days when you actually don’t feel like getting off the couch. Your dog doesn’t focus on the number of calories burned, your cadence or the distance you have run –or still have ahead of you. In fact, a running dog is always a happy dog, enjoying the exercise and the wind through his or her fur. That happiness of your dog is so contagious that it often turns out that people who have a dog as a running buddy keep running over a longer period of time than runners with ‘just’ human running buddies.

Always in sight

Running after the sun goes down or before the sun rises can be quite a challenge in the dark winter months. You have to brave the weather, but also think carefully about the safety of you and your dog. The Orbiloc K9 Pack consists of a bracelet with a dark, xenon (bluish) light for you and an amber light with holder for your dog’s collar or harness. The lights make you visible from a distance of up to 5 km away. Because the light shines 270 degrees across from your arm and from your dog’s harness or leash, drivers and cyclists can see you from a great distance and adjust their speed in time. Moreover, you are also highly visible for each other: with the super strong light, you can always see exactly where your dog is.

Clever Danish design

As a runner, you naturally want to look good. Scandinavian Design has a great reputation, and for good reasons. Scandinavian designers pay more attention to sustainability, are a bit more creative, often coming up with more elegant designs. Danes Anette Kristensen and Jan Jægergaard came up with the Orbiloc Safety Light and made the shockproof and waterproof safety light with high-quality materials. And do you want a different colour than the standard dark light on your arm? Or do you want your dog to look extra flashy? Kristensen and Jægergaard came up with a variety of colours for the safety lights. So you will always find the colour that finishes your outfit and matches your dog’s fur.

Which color Orbiloc Safety Light do you choose?

In the fall and winter, you can’t leave the house with your dog without safety lights. And Orbiloc‘s robust and versatile Safety Lights are excellent for walks with your dog. But which color dog light should you choose? When do you need safety lights? Each color has other advantages. NOHO lists them for you.

Look at the coat & environment

Whatever color you choose, always look at the dog’s coat first. Because broadly speaking, the darker the coat, the lighter the color of the safety light. Conversely, the lighter the coat, the darker the color lamp. Going for a walk in the city? Then any striking color is advisable – it doesn’t matter whether you choose an Orbiloc Safety Light in a standard color or a fashion color. In rural areas, it is best to choose a color that you do not often see in traffic. That’s why fashion colors are the way to go.

Standard colors

  • Red: The color red always attracts attention in traffic because it is associated with stopping and with emergencies. The color is ideal for attracting attention because you can see it from a greater distance than other colors.
  • Yellow: The color yellow is well distinguished by the human eye and is highly visible in fog. The color is also gentle on the eyes, which makes it nice to look at during walks with your dog. Yellow lights are also used as warning signals and at road works.
  • Green: Green light is easy to see in the dark as well as in sunlight. We see this color better than other color, with much more contrast, and many people prefer this color. Green safety lights are an absolute must-have.
  • Blue: Blue light is associated with police, emergencies and accidents. Road users reduce their speed when they see blue light, and therefore the color can prevent accidents. You don’t see many blue lights on the street, which makes it extra noticeable.
  • White: This color of light is similar to headlights on cars and bicycles. Therefore, oncoming traffic may think your dog with its white Safety Light could be runner or bicyclist that is approaching. White light is useful for dogs with long hair or thick fur. You can also use the light as a flashlight.

Fashion colors

  • Purple: The color purple is a mix of the colors red and blue. Purple light looks elegant and modern and it is a versatile color that you can combine well with different colors of collars and harnesses.
  • Turquoise: The color turquoise is a mix of the colors blue and green. It brings to mind the color of the ocean and is a good gender-neutral color that looks modern and stands out to oncoming traffic.
  • Pink: The color pink is a mix of purple and red and is often linked to something sweet. It represents passion, fun and energy and can be a beautiful, colorful addition to a cheerful dog coat, dog leash or dog harness.
  • Amber: The color amber is bright and warm and a mix of yellow and orange. Beautiful to see in the fall, especially with a dark, deep brown dog coat.
  • Dark: A dark light looks minimalist, futuristic and stylish. Orbiloc’s dark safety lights also have a xenon-like white light that you often see on cars as well – so they are super safe.
