Does this laser work with a laser detector? If not, is there any way to make it work outside or in bright environments better?

Hello, Yes, it does you will need the Bosch LR2 Line Laser Detector for Pulse Lasers. This laser has a button for the pulse feature to make this accessory work on the top. I believe the case has a spot for this accessory as well. I don't have this accessory yet but its on my list. I really don't need this accessory as most of my work is residential or minor commercial and is indoors. This laser for interior is far superior to most of the competition out there. In my opinion this laser is meant for interior use and certain points of the day its highly effective outside. I will admit that in direct sunlight this laser lacks the power to broadcast a strong beam, but in direct sunlight I think your options are limited. If you're doing a lot of exterior work this may not be the laser for you. I am sure there is a German manufacturer that has an option for you, but get your check book ready. Have you tried getting a pair of the red glasses that help make the laser more visible (DEWALT DW0714 Laser Enhancement Glasses)? I have used these glasses a few times in low visibility settings and it gets the job done. Let me know if you have any other questions. I love my laser. I get at east 3-4 requests from fellow contractors to borrow it and my dad has benefited most since I've purchased it.

Yes it does work with a laser detector and if you get the glasses you can see the laser in most outside conditions

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.

It detects cameras and speed traps (that's the main reason I bought it) but with both you have to keep in mind if it's a laser you usually don't stand a chance to react (or it may not even alert you if the officer is good and doesn't shout the windshield) and some cameras shout you in the back just when you pass them so it's almost no time to react.Hope this helped

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

I can't think of any reasons why it would not work outside the US. The only thing there may or may not be an issue with would be red light camera and known speed trap locations. As far as the functionality of detecting radar and laser is concerned, there should be no problems.

Yes it will but don't try both laser and light it won't work. That's what I bought it for and was somewhat disappointed. Good for the range but not concealed, too bulky. Try the focus robot or fobus paddle instead. I hope this helped.

Hi, yes it works outdoos, but at nights, it only works if the area you are going to watch over is illuminated, because this model does not have night vision.

Absolutely, the laser works best in low light conditions. You do have to be careful in direct sunlight, which can affect the reading. As for shiny surfaces I tested it for you on a mirror, black shiny surface and a glass surface with a white background, it worked perfectly. I own this laser for about a year and it works perfectly every time.

The unit is not weatherproof. The laser dots would probably show up on leaves close by, but not more than twenty or thirty feet.

These things really don't work like they used to, alot of newer agencies in bigger cities are switching to lidar technology and these detectors just really can't pick it up some say they do. But by the time you hear the alert go off, the officer already has a pretty good hit on you and its more than likely too late. These type of detectors work well against older technology (alot of smaller departments/agencies)

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!

Works very well in California sunlight. Obviously the sun is very bright compared to the laser but it still does a good job. The green laser reflects well off concrete , wood fences, walls , cars , etc... Not very visible on green grass 8-)

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

I have not tried that, but it detects a red laser and should work with any visible red laser.

honestly I tried using this outside to check a long stone wall and was disappointed at the readability of the line in bright sunlight. I have the red lensed glasses as well as a plastic card and ultimately I decided that this laser was fantasic for indoor use, I use it all the time and recently bought "Fastcap 98000 Fastcap 3 Hand 5Hd Third Hand Heavy Duty 5-Feet to 12-Feet Extension Pole" to make it even more convenient to use for hanging cabinets, But for outdoors get a more powerful rotary laser, a grade stick with one of those laser readers would be nice if you're doing grading. hope that helps. Also, even indoors I've been in some really bright rooms that wash out the line a bit, but rarely to the point of it being unuseable

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.

Plenty far. It's more than bright enough for any indoor need. Outdoor, lasers are limited by bright sun. It is brighter than any pocket laser in this class. If you are in bright sun, consider buying the glasses to enhance viewing. If you need brighter, you'll need a fixed mount rig.
