I wasn't able to use it in the rain, but I see no reason it wouldn't. This thing lights up a LOT. You can focus the light and shine it even further. I was able to shine it up on canyon walls probably 300-400 feet away.

Actually, it is quite bright (don't know how many lumens) and has a focusing feature, which means that you can go from flood to spot fairly easy. If you are putting up a tent in the dark, it will work fine. If you are caving, it will work good enough to see what is ahead of you, but I would suggest also carrying a much brighter light with you. If you are trying to use it for bicycling at night, it probably won't work for you. Did I cover all of the bases?! It should stand up in the rain - the battery compartment is gasketed, but I've never tried it on the rain.

My husband absolutely loves this headlamp. You can see farther with it than his large mag light. It rained 6 out of the 10 days we last went camping and still works perfectly. It also holds a charge extremely long.

more light would reflect back into the vehicle than would go out. turn on your overhead lights on a dark night and see how much less visibility those tiny things give you.

My backyard is 100 meters across from treeline to treeline . Standing at one side and shining to the other, I can easily and clearly identify objects ( or critters ) on the other. Though not a "thrower" by design the SRK flashlight by sheer volume of light output ( 2100 lumens on high ) probably can throw " useable" light out to 125 meters, all the while flooding the area in front of it with a wide spill beam. Very impressive on high but will get really hot, on low it still puts out an impressive amount of light.

When it has a full charge. It casts a great amount of light at full power. A good 50 feet roughly. It lights up my back yard. I have one on each side of the house. The moonlight feature is great and the full light is very good. Mine are hung about 10 feet up as well. Hope this helps.

Hi.My son has it on his bike and he said that they are somewhat visible at close range in daylight, but not noticeable from a distance. They are awesome in the dark. Hopefully this helps!

The distance is not an issue you will be able to see it at 6 ft away. We have never used it in the day or in a bright room but I do feel if may be an issue as it at times was not extremely bright with some videos displayed on it.

I think you will be good to go. It is a laser and is pretty bright. I could easily see it on my garage floor from the ceiling in broad daylight.

Before we've even took it out into the real world we tried it out at home . It is fricking bright. Could probably blind someone at close range if looking directly at it, I would think. In a brightly lit road, it's still visible, even in rain. I'd say it reaches about (from your standing point) to maybe a bit over twenty feet away? An approximate, tried it in an unlit hall.

Daytime its excellent. I use it to cover my yard sale out the window about 150 feet away. (yes somtimes people try to take things if Im not right there to watch it. At least this way I get a view of their car so I can report it.) At night beyond 7-8 foot it gets more and more faint the further away you are. Finally about 10-12 feet away its totally black again. It could pick up a person walking by or sneaking in but you would not be able to see many details beyond about 8-10 feet. Check out my video demo on YouTube. Search for video ZPqF25zfC5k or check out the video demo from Amazon fan,in the reviews section. Any background light at all really helps this unit with distances beyond 8 feet. A nightlight on, even moonlight coming in, or a streetlamp outside the window can make the room still be light enough. Hope that helps. Nick- onlinenterprises Just click this link to get one from me.

It is a little tricky to light. Follow the instructions carefully. I haven't had any trouble. I always leave mine covers so I can't comment on how the rain may affect it.

Tough question...I know I can stand down at the end of my street and that beam will light up the street on both sides a full block away. Hope this will give you an idea of how far it goes, Paul.

The night vision is quite good depending on the distance you want to see, 20 ft. works good and inside a building even works better. If your mounting it outside make sure the power supply is protected from moisture, if it gets wet it will burn out. Just mount the power supply under something so rain won't fall directly on it. Hope this helps

At least 250 feet with street lights around it. Probably a lot further in a no light situation.

As a user of this light, in total darkness, which is rare, this light will illuminate a minimum of 300 ft. in a pratical user manner, however I have used this light to shine at someone in the distance which he said to me he could see well over 2 miles as i approached him with a cell phone

I have not mounting my yet because I think you will have to make a rain cover or mount it under a fairing it does not look like it can stand a lot of rain if you were riding

My packaging's dated '2/15' and has 168 Lumens, 412m beam distance, 42533cd, 80h, weather {waterproof ? anyone know what the cloud + rain symbol means ?}, and good for a 1m drop...

This particular fixture is an outdoor fixture and will have no problem in the rain. Unfortunately this fixture only comes with a day/night sensor and is not available with motion built in.
