Will I be able to see the laser shine even outdoor when there is strong sunlight?

Yes, kind of. I am an appraiser and use my Bosch to measure houses. I can usually see the red light in bright sun but it is NOT easy. I finally bought some red Dewalt glasses and it helps some. In a nutshell I have never NOT been able to measure a house on any day, sunny or not, but it goes much faster with at least some shade.

The main limitation outdoors is that you cant see the laser dot in bright sunlight.so you will have to make those site trips later in the day.lol

I have not used this laser outside. If you can do your work @ night like jepoy did i would take his advice. I thought so hard about buying a good quality rotary laser (stabila) but could not justify the cost, compared to the many, many different applications you can do with this laser. If you don't get the answers you want here, you could respond to some of the videos they have on You Tube. Do not call Dewalt they will tell you anything you want to here (long story) to make a sell.

I have personally found that the reticle is quite visible in bright sunlight. Except while viewing in the direction of the sun during its decline in the late afternoon/early evening, as is the case with any aiming device. I hope you find this information helpful.

yes, but the lasers marking the lane space may be difficult to see if very sunny.

It is just a laser, but a very bright one very easily seen in bright daylight. I am well pleased with mine.

Hi...I is difficult during full daylight, however I have a tool shed in my backyard that I can go into and zero it by shooting out into the yard. If you do it right at dusk the cross hairs are very visible through the peephole and that is what I have been doing. It is a great entry level night vision scope and really my only complaint is that it is quite heavy.

If you mean is the laser dot bright enough to measure outside, then the answer is YES! And for really sunny days, it has a digital viewfinder which shows the target crosshairs on the video display. Works great!

The laser is hard to see outside and if the sun is low (as in the morning) and shining toward you it can interfere with the measurement (will not report erroneous results, but will report "error" instead of a measurement).

Yes it can. It glows under UV light (best spotted in lower light conditions)

Sunlight is very bright, so I think it will not work outdoors unless you use it at dusk.

Generally I would day no. It is possible that under some conditions (deep shadow) it would work outside- but overall daylight (sunlight)will degradate the laser beam.

This is dependent on the background. With a retro-reflector target, and a viewing scope, we are able to aim the laser to the center of a 1 inch circle from greater than 200 meters, in full sunlight. This is a very well made, sturdy, precise and powerful tool. Well worth the price!

Has a good strong light. Should work great. I set it up and it works fine outside in the sun.

I have had mine set up in the house at about 30 ft and they work fine. My Sirt laser pistol will cast a visible beam on the neighbors garage about 300 yards across the park when it is close to dusk. I was assuming that it would work if the beam was visible but I haven't tested that theory. I can't see the visible beam over 30-40 ft outside on a sunny day. I haven't tried the targets outside yet. I will get back to you when I do

I don't think it will produce a strobe effect outside unless its very dark.

I use mine for floor to ceiling measurements all the time. in direct sunlight it cant read the laser.
