The collar was easy to cut and can be quickly put on the dog. It lights up very strongly when it is freshly charged, however, takes the luminosity proportionally with the battery strength. But this is not surprising and is quite fast when the battery needs to be recharged. The charging via microUSB is super easy, as with almost all devices mitlerweile standard. A small drawback is the clusure ... he keeps super ... erwas too much to make it just quickly on. Basically, that would be more of a plus, but as the hose (which was shortened) super easy going from the actual closure, it is obsolete. However, since the price is great and the luminosity is truly enormous, there are no deductions for this;) I have had the collar 3 months in use, it has not verlohren to Leutkraft .... my dog did not bother it at least ... it even has made him fun to serve as a flashlight
