Stuff We Want: Illumiseen LED Dog Leash, Because Your 5 PM Walk Is Now a Night Walk

Daylight savings is the biggest rising search on Google Trends this morning, with "did the time change" and "what time is it" riding along. Yes, it changed. Clocks fell back an hour at 2 AM today, and sunset in a lot of the country now lands around 5 PM or earlier.

You got an extra hour of sleep. Your dog got an extra hour of staring at you, because his body clock still says it's dinner time.

And that after-work walk? It's in the dark now, starting tonight.

The Illumiseen LED Light Up Dog Leash is a 4 foot nylon leash with a glowing neon green light running along it. The listing claims visibility up to 350 yards, with 3 lighting modes.

It's USB rechargeable, so no hunting for coin batteries in the junk drawer. There's a padded handle for the dog who thinks every squirrel is a personal emergency, and a rotating swivel clasp to help keep the leash from tangling.

The bonus: cars, cyclists and neighbors can see the two of you coming. Also, your dog will look like he's walking himself with a lightsaber, which is a vibe.

Who it's for

• After-work dog walkers who just lost their daylight.
• Early-morning walkers heading out before the sun.
• Christmas gifts for the dog people in your life (or the dog).

Who should skip it

• You only walk at noon. Lucky you.
• You want a long lead. This one is 4 feet.

How it compares

Vs. the noxgear Tracer2 vest: the vest lights you up. The leash lights up the line between you and the dog. Together you're basically a parade float.

Vs. a flashlight in your pocket: a flashlight needs a hand. You have one hand for the leash and one for the poop bag. Do the math.

More for the dark evenings: the Coleman rechargeable lantern and the La Crosse atomic projection clock, which already knows what time it is.

FAQ

The verdict

The verdict: hand-picked for the first dark walk of the season. Clip it on tonight, and let the dog lead the parade.
