[NAGDU] harness lights again

[Brent Franklin]

Hello Teri,



Thanks for offering your thoughts, it really does help me because I’ve not
ventured down this path before. A harness light really is such a good idea,
but being totally blind with no light perception it isn’t something I’d
ever stopped to consider.



It was an instructor who first got me thinking about this, and she showed
me several cheap lights, but they were all very hard to use.



I have spoken to a shop here who stocks Roughwear products and while they
don’t have this light they are going to get one in for me to look at. The
good thing is I don’t have to purchase it from the shop if I’m not happy
with it. This will take a couple of weeks because the shop needs to speak
to the Roughwear rep first.



A couple of questions, the Roughwear light you have is it a light that you
charge up?. How have you found the noise it makes?. Finally what do you
like about the flashing mode?. I ask this question re the flashing mode
because sighted people have told me the constant light should be easier to
see. Not being able to see any light I’m really interested in people’s
thoughts on this.



I’m also thinking of ordering a light from Julie as well, thinking I could
do with more than one considering the way we get around one might end up
smashed, so Julie I will write soon to work out how to order.



Cheers.



Brent.

Hi Brent,

I got the ruffwear harness light and like the flashing effect and the fact
that it makes noise when turned on and off... but i also use a couple other
lights that are small l-e-d and i think were sold as bike lights. They stay
constant and i put 2 on the harness, in addition .. they were from amazon
and came in a 4pk.



Well thats just another opinion... The one Julie sells on her site seems
good also.

I checked out the shop- on the go site for the first time...great finds for
us guide dog users!!

Have a great evening everybody, good luck Brent!

Hello All,



Thanks to Julie who responded. I have further questions, have anyone had
experience with a brand called Rogz and the name of the light is roglite.



I very well might end up purchasing from Julie, but this light seems very
nice and simple to use.



I’d also like to hear from anyone who uses a harness or dog light. Being
totally blind the big aspect is telling if the light is off or on.



I’ve been told by a couple of sighted people that a constant light is going
to be better to see than a flashing light. I mention this because several
sighted people have made this comment to me and perhaps other totally blind
people might be interested in that comment.



Hoping to hear of people’s experience with dog lights.



Cheers.



Brent.
