How bright are the indicator lights. Can I see the lights outside in bright sunlight? A similar unit with neon indicators is useless in sunlight.

The lights are not really all that bright. Might be really hard to see in bright daylight.

Yep, it works fine. But in my estimation a far superior choice would be the Sperry Instruments GTH6120 GFCI tester. Its just plain superb!

I never used this tester outside. However, in a sunny room, the lights a visible.

Yes, but you will want to shade the tester to clearly see the indicator lights.

HisJoe,I use this light for a custom welcome sign in our yard and it produces a warm mellow yellow light. Most solar LED lamps are a bright white color. Caution on the solar panel attach point to the light housing, it is poorly designed. I had to return the first unit, it was broken in the box. If u order the light, just shake the packing container and listen for any rattled pieces, which indicates a defective unit. The replacement light was ok, but after reading other reviews the broken pieces seemed to be a common problem. The light Replacement I received has worked for several months without any issues. Hope these words assist u in the decision process to purchase this item.n HisJoe,I use this light for a custom welcome sign in our yard and it produces a warm mellow yellow light.

You can adjust the brightness in a scale from 1 to 5. It's set to 3 most of the times. I used 5 one time when there was a lot of direct sunlight and I could see the screen without any problem. I hope my answer helps!

I have had the lights only a short while. They are lovely - and give soft glowing light - not the kind like switching on the porch light. Mine are out where they get rained on. So far they light well. I have other solar lights - 4 of various types - which I have had a year or more. Of 4, 3 have continued to work well, even in heavy downpours. The 4th works intermittently.

The LEDs are quite bright. I have one up at the peak of the roof line and it puts out plenty of light for my "older" eyes. These have worked out so well that I am about to purchase a few more.

it might be visible, but dont count on using it during the day time. for day time visibility you are better off wearing neon clothing and using hand signals.

Yes it can be seen clearly in the dark and very easy to use. Each number lights up. I find it a great product.

Great if you keep the battery warm. In the current 0F weather it's visible, but dim. Anything above about 25F seems to be best. Using it in the fall it was very bright even in full sunshine. Be careful it to point the scope towards the sun, even with the cover on.

Silverstars especially the high end HID equivalent are brighter than these. All light output in this type is usually rated in Kelvin. The hotter the burn of the light source the higher the Kelvin (usually) all meant to be toward 5000 to 6000 Kelvin or natural sunlight temps/light equivalent. In my opinion, the Phillips cast a cooler blue light usually associated with a 3500 to 40000 Kelvin scale. I ran them for about 3 weeks and went back to Silverstar HID equivalent for these very dark, no street lights, out in the country roads.

They will not come on in the shade. I have them in the porch which gets no sunlight. The light comes on when it is dark. I am very impress with the convenience.

Tried to use it in low lighting outside recently and could not figure out how to get light (helps to read the manual ahead of time!). Later figured out that there is a low lux setting, which I have learned how to use...simple change in settings....but haven't tried it out yet.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that I have tinted windows. I never get direct sunlight on the unit!

I live in a city, so there are streetlights around, but I can say that the visibility is good. Hope this helps.

Any sign that is reflective will really be lit up like there was a bright fixed light source on it with just one of these lights. I actually use two of these simultaneously and they light thing up the road well well. I have one set for about bright 30-40 coverage and the second for further down the road. They are pretty economical in battery use (2 AA).

Some say it is hard. I find it easy to see in all types of lighting. The backlight works well in dim or dark places. I was in regular daylight today and it was easy to see. Maybe if it was direct sunlight like a bright sunny day with the sun directly on it you may have trouble, but I had plenty of sun in NH today and had no problems.

It's a very bright laser, however on a nice, sunny day it will not show. I've had luck locating it on overcast days though.

Not enough light for anything but ambiance. More like the light from a bright candle. I noticed that the ones I put outside didn't last. I think it may do something to the battery. I keep mine in a sunny window and they light up every night after the house lights are out.
