{"product_id":"ancol-rechargeable-flashing-band-orange-58cm","title":"Ancol Rechargeable Flashing Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eA USB-rechargeable LED safety band designed to make your dog clearly visible during evening and low-light walks. Visible from up to 500 metres, the Ancol Rechargeable Flashing Band clips around your dog’s neck alongside their regular collar or harness and offers three light settings to suit different conditions. At 70cm it fits most dogs straight out of the box, and it can be trimmed down with household scissors to achieve a precise fit for smaller necks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in Orange and Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBest for:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDog owners who walk regularly in low light, at dawn or dusk, or in winter conditions where visibility is a genuine concern. Particularly useful on country roads, unlit paths, and areas with vehicle traffic. Suitable for dogs of most sizes thanks to the cut-to-fit design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Hound Hut Expert View:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLED safety bands are one of those products that feel optional until you actually need one — and then they become a permanent part of the evening walk kit. The Ancol Rechargeable Flashing Band is one of the better options at this price point: the USB rechargeability means you’re not constantly buying batteries, the 500-metre visibility claim is credible in practice, and the cut-to-size feature makes it genuinely versatile rather than a one-size compromise. One important point worth emphasising to customers: this is a visibility band only, not a collar — no lead should ever be attached to it. It’s designed to sit alongside a proper walking collar or harness, not to replace one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisible Up to 500 Metres\u003c\/strong\u003e – Bright LED illumination that’s unmissable to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in low-light conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut-to-Size Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Supplied at 70cm and trimmable with household scissors to fit necks of almost any size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Light Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e – Slow flash, fast flash, and continuous light — switch between them to suit the conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Rechargeable\u003c\/strong\u003e – Charges via standard USB port; cable included.
