How well does it work in daylight? Is it better than standard bead?

Dim in daylight. Don't forget it's constructed and it's purpose is not the target to see the sight. Only shooter can see the glow of the sight. Bright, sort off, also to locate the MossBerg in the dark, place in position so it's visible. But, I lost the sight, does not secure well enough. Even installation is " screwy. " does not rotate fully to be flush with barrel and no gap between thread-in portion. Has to be forced to fully align the glow portion of sight with shooter' and barrel. Since lost, sight cannot be replaced without buying again. Since, I like my sight to stay on the barre Dim in daylight.

I was not that happy with this product. It is not that easy to see day or night.

It does not glow during daylight, instead it looks like white dot with a black border. It is much easier to see during the day for me than the factory bead sight, due to the much larger size and better contrast of the white and Black. As the other reviews say the threaded portion will need to be filled down so it doesn't stick down into the barrel and I recommend using good locktight and a appropriately sized wrench for installation.

the sight screws on fine with a drop of glue on the threads, go as tight as possible with it lined up right and stop... don't over tighten . ... after glue dries use small file to sand off post on the inside of the barrel.

I'd say in daylight it is pretty similar to using a white bead dot.It might be slightly better as the white is surrounded by the black housing of the sight giving it good contrast, but in bright situations I wouldn't call it a significant improvement.

its just like a standard bead (just little bigger) in the light...... was still hitting clay pigeons no problem

I use it my living room, during daytime with blinds closed it works great! There is no direct daylight on the screen. In your case If there is going to be plenty of day light a projector with higher lumens than this one might be better but still it depends on how much daylight exposure you are talking about.

Kurt, I purchased this sight for use on a pump shotgun for home protection. Obviously most threats come during darkness. I found that this sight DOES NOT provide adequate sight capability in low light situations. It looks wonderful and the concept is great BUT it simply did not satisfy my need for night time sighting. I hope this helps. For daylight... altogether adequate.

Yes, it is bright. . . like sunlight. I use it to see my knitting and sewing projects more clearly.

What is "less than optimal light"? Is it indoor lighting? Is it outdoor street lighting? Haven't had a chance to shoot in the night with the weather outside. Indoor, it seems be fine.

yes it has good day and night clarity, but I must say that I have some Mace 420 TVLs that can match these during daylight. Night time is when these perform very good you get very little hazy within its IR range, which is about 30FT. The IR range is farther then 30FT, but the clarity drops significantly pass that and facial features are not refine.

It works perfect in all light conditions. There are several different levels of dot brightness control on both red and green to suit your needs. In bright day or low light conditions it has done well for me as I'm sure it will for you as well.

depends on your definition of effective... it will work for a moon light but not nearly bright enough to use as a daytime light

I have the black one. It is pretty easy to see for me,but being that your screen name is biker Bill I'm not sure for your scenario being in direct sun light. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can say it's a pretty good watch the barometer is off alittle bit but you can compensate for the error the tempt is way off until you take the watch off Good luck be safe shotot straight

I tested it indoors and quality was fine. I imagine quality in daylight is better than artificial light...just like most cameras.

I would expect the CREE lite to be brighter than the Cygolite. I also have the CREE 1800 and it makes night riding like daytime. I like.my Cygo but really like the CREE because its so bright.

I keep it on in the mornings while at work. If it is dark outside, I immediately turn it on. You only need 30 min per day. I keep it about 3 feet away from me in the corner of my eye. It doesn't interfere with my vision at all. The bulbs are fluorescent, and I'm on my second season now with it. It really and truly does work, will give you more energy waking up and knock the blues away through the day. Warning! Don't use it at night as it may keep you awake.

I haven't noticed a difference. It works the best when it gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight prior to use. What's amazing is that it will last you all night and more.

My Meprolight sights do not "glow" in daylight. They are just visible white dots. My guess is that is true of all the tritium sights, but I do not have any direct experience besides the ones I have. It's not clear to me why you would want a glowing light sight in daylight.

Have you reloads changed any would be the most obvious questions. I try to chronograph on cloudy days or in the shade beside a side of a building. Something that is solid shade. I just don't trust sunny days. Unlike others I don't trust sunny days.

This thing is bright outside in daylight and is extremely helpful, but it won't do you any good at night time, only you can see the glow

It should not be used in the daylight. It is designed to capture moonlight and or starlight, and it also has an infrared light to help in ultra low light conditions for short range night vision.
