how bright is the laser? approximately how far from the base is the max distance before the laser line is to dim, indoors?

Laser is bright. Direct lights slightly for max. performance away from work area if possible. I haven't noticed the laser dim in distance. Still just as bright, but the further you get to project your line, the blurrier it gets. Probably 25-30 feet and laser tends to not be as sharp.

I could see mine from 24 feet pretty clearly inside during the day with the lights on in the house.

Once indoors the laser it works well, provided that there is not too much light in the room. too much of light obscure the laser light.

standard brightness as far as I can tell. Used for suspended ceiling in a 20x64' space. Down the 64' length it could be seen even w/ lights on but was dim. Outdoors don't know but I assume significantly less in day time. Self-level is awesome. Never used CST before but seems to work well and have no complaints. Would buy again. I don't use it daily though. Will be for brief, intermittent projects.

The answer by Mr. Larson is correct. I've purchased several of these lights. The unit is an excellent choice for moderate power indoor use for sure. I constantly keep one beside my computer keyboard which I normally operate in an area of very subdued light.

The laser is &lt; 1mW 650 nm (red) diode module. It was the only real negative - the rest works great. I recently replaced the laser diode module with a 5 mW 650 nm laser module. It's not that difficult to do but not for the faint of heart (requires soldering and cutting of a small piece of plastic with a knife). There isn't much space so a small laser diode module is required (about 6 mm in diameter). I considered a green laser module but they are expensive, have different voltage requirements (this is a 3V unit), and the power draw is about 10x that of a red diode module.

This laser has a pulsed 15,000 mW (15 watt @ 905 nm) laser A 60 mW (875 nm) infrared light A 7.5 mW (660 nm) red light

About 15 - 20 feet depending on the amount of indoor light. More in the dark. Beam doesn't level multiple dimensions though. Best suited for flat surfaces like walls, not construction applications.

Centered below the light. Green lasers are probably five times brighter than the red and much more visible day and night which is why I wanted the green initially but did not want a laser that is not centered. Plus the green has the laser in the light lense so it reflects off the lense and back into the reflector giving it a green "glow" supposedly, on top of that they do not have a high lumen TLR-2G. Decided to go with this one (TLR-2 HL) and have not regretted the decision. Laser on this one is a little further from the bore than I prefer, but all the light laser combos are like that so this is probably the best one for the price. And in case you were wondering it does have momentary and continuous strobe.

Hey kevin I got a question about a laser light combo from you. .I just tried the laser out in broad daylight. I can see my last pretty good at 50 yards on a part and tree. This is a very nice combo I recommend it very much good luck

I haven't tried it, but I think it would work at dusk or in the dark, as long as your distance isn't too great... Remember, all it does is give you a level -- You would have to measure vertically from the laser line based on the height of the laser at the base.

I'm not sure how many lumens the light is, But the laser came defective, And I tried speaking to someone of getting it replaced, Yet no one seem to care about their poor customer satisfaction.

All of the technical specifications are available online for this laser.... It has a 100' visible laser and 600' range with the remote. The 79KD model is visible at 200' and 2000' with the remote. This is an indoor laser, I would recommend it for smaller areas and drop ceiling applications.

Green lasers are easier for the eye to see and usually more expensive. As for the light, it is an LED light and very bright. It lights up a dark room very well. It's not as bright as some of the other more expensive lights but for this price point your not going to find a better value.

The pointI placed my laser is 12 feet. It shows up clearly on the floor of my garage. I think it will work fine foe you.

The distance depends on ambient light. You get 150-200 feet. It's ok. I'd pass and get something else. I've had mine for about a year. It's ok, and good for the price, I wish it were a more focused beam and less flood. All led naturally provide flood aLight sound the beam

I wish I could give you an accurate answer, however, new have only had the light for about a month. We really do love it. It is not blinding light, but a very soft accent lamp. We have not noticed any dimness of the light since we put it out. I have recommended this light to my family and friends, and would do to anyone who is looking for a non-wired light!

At night, I have played with the laser up to a mile away, but, in the daylight it is extremely weak, 20' max. If I were going to buy one now I would get the green laser.

Theoretically the reach is virtually infinite since it is a laser. In fact you need to take proper precaution when using it like any laser device because it is a very intense point of light! In use I have not found an application yet around the house when it did not teach the target as a point. In the line mode the length of the line depends on the distance from the wall and the incident angle to the wall as well as the brightness of the room. In a few simple tests I found the laser outperforms the stated specs. In the line mode I found it reached my farthest wall about 35 feet away in a normally bright room lit by indirect sunlight. However at this distance the narrow line does diffuse slightly so the line which is sharp at close range is broader and softer. For safety you would not want any laser device around your home that is more powerful than this level. I hope this answers your question. Dr.J., Princeton, NJ

Melissa, I am not sure how many lumen the light is rated for. it is very bright in the house, which is what I purchased it for. I would guess somewhere between 80 - 100 lumen. But that is just a guess. The green laser is very bright. I am still very happy with mine. there was one person who got one who was not happy with the condition his showed up in. If you get one i would make sure you are ordering new not used. I hope this helps.
