The invention discloses a light up buckle for use with a dog collar. Thisbuckle design comprises aPlastic Computer Board (PCB) which incorporates LED's, a mini-USB port, aswitch and a rechargeablebattery. The lithium-ion battery is housed within the buckle assembly, and isprotected from water bymeans of rubber seals when the buckle is in the closed or locked position.The main components are molded from translucent plastic, to allow the LED's toilluminate theassembly when switched on. There are multiple settings for the LED's to allowfor a steady illumination orvarious flashing/pulsing settings.
