Audible Beacon™ Sicherheitslicht

I am a woman who is completely blind. The first thing I noticed, upon opening my Audible Beacon, was that there was a Braille tag attached to it, stating what it was!!! I was so impressed I kept the tag!!! I wish Ruff Wear would attach Braille tags to all their products. It certainly would make it easier to identify items, with no sighted assistance.

I had to purchase two Audible Beacons. The first Beacon, I lost the rubber portion which goes around the dog’s collar. I had to take it off to charge the light. I wish the video which came with the product explained that the rubber top portion must be removed to charge the light. Under this rubber portion, is a metal clip. The charging port to charge the light is most easily accessed by unclipping the clip by pushing down on the plastic tab until you feel it give, then sliding your fingers down slightly. I took my service dog, Kombi, to our trainer. She assisted me to locate the charging port, under its rubber flap. She also showed me how to remove the rubber cover on the light itself to access the charging port. Once the cover was off, I could not get it back on. I lost it on the bus, going to my piano teacher’s. I took it with me because I thought she could assist me to install the cover again. The Ruff Wear employees were understanding about me purchasing another Audible Beacon. I now attach the first one to myself when we go out. The second one, I have affixed to Kombi’s collar. He is only thirty pounds. This works…

This light is great for making my dog and me more visible at night, and it makes a loud beeping tone indicating when it is on or off. A great and useful product. We love it.

The audible beacon safety light is perfect. It is extremely easy to use as a visually impaired person and charges very quickly. It’s great that it plays the tone so that way you know whether or not your light has been left on or not so it can be turned off when not in use. Love the light and the safety it brings to myself and my guide.

This is an excellent utility for the blind. Finally someone has developed a safety light for the blind.
