All Scarab Dog Light Products

The Essential Winter Dog Accessory

Part of your dog’s walking kit more vital than a favourite ball, coat or throwing toy is a dog safety light, you would curse if a cyclist went by without any lights on and your dog is no different. However, a dog light must meet certain criteria for it to keep you and your dog safe and with many factors affecting the lights performance when in use. Unless the light you buy meets these factors, you may as well risk the dark and potential hazards we experience when outside in low light conditions without one. With increased traffic on our roads and less people using public transport, walking your dog can be quite stressful and cause you to limit how much time you spend exercising your best friend, let’s make it more pleasurable and safer, here’s how.

You can buy cheaper, less powerful lights and they will switch on and off, but the first thing you should check is the viewing angle, will they get your dog seen from all sides, can you adjust the intensity to suit your journey, and do they reflect off hedges and grass verges giving additional visibility? Do they work with fur or are they obscured, limiting the road user’s ability to see them? How secure are they when on the dog, do they cause a potential snagging hazard, and do they offer long operating times? Do they work in wet conditions, and did you know that flashing lights are seen far quicker than constant lights, a point that could be the difference between injury or not?

Rechargeable products are very popular nowadays, mobile phones have really set the bar and changed people’s attitudes, it used to be that rechargeable products were far dearer than battery operated goods but now as the technology widens and more and more goods are rechargeable, the prices are not so different, which is extremely good for the planet and your pocket. Over the length of winter you can be forgiven for thinking replacement dog light batteries are helping save the world as they are so small, you can spend little on the product but LOTS on replacing the batteries, thus making a rechargeable product the right choice and especially if it offers a long run time, a full suite of accessories, a choice of light settings and LED colours and satisfies all the above criteria making the buying decision so much easier.

Scarab Dog Lights have been carefully developed by outdoor people who know the rigours of portable lighting kit along with the added challenge of it being strapped to your dog haring around in all types of conditions.

Don’t let the dark restrict your dog’s activity plans, they and you need to be outside and with the right gear attached you can have peace of mind that you and your dog are visible and secure on and off the lead.

New Products Coming from Scarab

Over the past few months we have been flat out developing product additions for your dog and now your push bike.

For some time now our customers have been telling us to adapt Scarab for bikes as it gives all-round visibility, so thanks to you we now hope to keep cyclists safe with our technology and here it is:

SideSafe by Scarab is a removeable, waterproof, rechargeable accessory bike light designed to keep you safe. The harmonisation of power LED and optical polymer lens produces all-round visibility, so you are clearly seen not just from the rear or front but both sides too. Our wide-angle lens gives other road users plenty of warning of your presence. SideSafe is waterproof (IP67) and weighs just 30g and can be seen from up to 3km depending on power and colour setting. You can change the colour for front or rear use, (RED or White) and adjust the intensity to suit your journey. On High flash setting SideSafe will run for 10 hours and 140 hours on low. There are 5 light modes: 1 Adjustable intensity flash, 2 Pre-set Long flash, 3 Pre-set Intensity Dot-Dot, 4 Pre-set Intensity Dot Dash, 5 Pre-set intensity Constant. SideSafe is assembled and tested in the UK

Scarab halt direct web sales to EU/NI Customers due to new tax laws as a result of Brexit

We are very sad to report that we have had no choice but to stop sales of our products directly to non-vat registered people living outside of the UK, this means private individuals, this includes people living in Northern Ireland, although historically part of the UK, in ecommerce terms they are now not.

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT VAT REGISTERED BUSINESS CUSTOMERS

This new tax law as of July 1st, is the EU’s response to our leaving the EU and understandably, we can’t have our cake and eat it.

The decision to leave the EU single market now means if we wish to sell directly to people living in EU countries, (known as distance selling) we must register our company for VAT in EACH member country or join the IOSS scheme. The administration and management costs make this totally non-viable as you can imagine.

Where we have EU country distributors, these remain in place so you will still see Scarab Dog Lights in shops and on-line with our approved re-sellers, but you will not be able to purchase direct from our web site if you live in the EU or Northern Ireland.

If you are in the EU or Northern Ireland and wish to purchase our products, we can direct you to our EU re-sellers, just send us an email and we will more than happy to assist you.

Scarab Dog Light on Binky the Beagle

Out with Binky and the Family

We have talked about dog ownership being on the increase, “Lock down 2” has brought a variety of changes to our lives once more. One of the good things to come out of it is families spending much more time together once again. This Autumn has seen a variety of restrictions from our government, some have been very confusing but the continuing theme throughout this pandemic has been getting outside and a dog really makes sure you keep up this practice.

About Beagles

The beagle dog has an incredible sense of smell and superior tracking instincts, Beagle’s are widely employed as detection dogs for prohibited items by Customs and Excise Officers around the world. The beagle is intelligent, good tempered and has very few health issues. This breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several hunting breeds.

Beagles have been illustrated or mentioned in popular culture since Elizabethan times and more recently in film, television, and books.

Binky is wearing our Pink UNO dog light; the vibrant colour choice has been extremely popular since we launched the new range of dog lights in October.

Scarab Dog Lights suitable for Small dogs with Collar Lock Kit

Collar Lock puts Scarab Dog Lights on all sizes of dogs!

Lets’ look at our fantastic Collar Lock Kit, it is designed to:

Lock Scarab on to 25mm collars
Kit out smaller collar widths for smaller dogs
Cater for extreme usage scenarios

The great thing with smaller collar widths come smaller dogs who still need to be seen when outside, so now you can boost their safety and yours with Scarab Dog Lights making sure you and your pet are highly visible and secure out in the dark.

Make your Small Dog BIG with Scarab Dog Lights:

It is a fact that smaller dogs are not so visible anyway so don’t risk them not been seen, fit a dog light that is rechargeable, waterproof, weighs just 23g and can be seen from any angle and reflects beautifully off all terrain and hedgerows.

Reduce Danger-Increase Your Safety:

Roadside walking is always perilous in the dark, drivers drive far quicker these days and if you are walking in country lanes, being seen is vital. Wearing a light increases driver reaction times and saves lives.

Collar Lock Enables Smaller Dogs to comfortably Wear our Dog Light:

The Collar Lock Kit is applied to Scarab after it has been fitted to your dogs’ collar or harness. Simply click Collar Lock on each of Scarab’s arms from the rear side of the collar and it locks on, job done. For wider applications you use the X-Strap provided in the kit, simple, thoughtful, engineered design from our innovative design crew.

Vibrant LED Colours:
