what is considered a "reflective target"? Tree? utility pole? or what...thanx

Anything solid that will give a return signal. Brush or bushes won't work. Animals, trees, rocks and prominent earth structures will.

anything that will reflect the infrared beam back to the receiver. Deer, tree, box, rock, etc.

The more light that is absorbed by any object (e.g. fuzzy textures), the lesser the amount of reflected light will get get back to the rangefinder, thus the less reflective that particular object is. But the more reflective the object, the farther your renagefinder will be in effectively reading it's own bounced-back light signal. Rangefinders use a laser traveling at a specific measured speed. The ranger finder sends that laser light in "pulses" (not steady stream), it then measures the time for that specific "pulse of light" to return to its own receiving lens. If too much of the laser is absorbed by a soft or fuzzy surface, or if the target is too far away (essentially dimming the light-pulse), then the rangefinder will fail to get any accurate reading. The farther out the laser goes, the less powerful its light-signal will become... causing it to show an "error" response (no measured distance will appear). When a rangefinder's laser light hits ANY reflective object (like a car, clean sheet metal, hard flat surface of a stone, stiff tall weeds, tree, building, etc.) the more of the rangefinder's laser-light signal gets reflected back (instead of being "absorbed"//"distorted"); allowing a rangefinder to get an adequate read of the laser-light signal strength back from grearter distances. A "reflective object" does exactly that: it easily/readily reflects light off its surface... and that would include an animal. Fur does reflect some light... usually having a greater degree of reflectivity at closer distances. I've seen this and other rangefinders operate better than or less than the distance they claim. However, the greater the power of the laser, the greater the distance for getting an accurate reading. Falling rain, mist snow, and sleet can impede successful readings.

Sorry but I can not answer your question as I hung one of mine on a tree and the other on a beam on my deck! They work great and get a lot of use!

The reflective side is meant to "bounce" the heat back at the source. If you sit between the reflective side and a fire with the tarp at a an angle an amazing amount of heat will come at you from both the fire and as radiant heat from the blanket. If you hung these in a window with the reflective side out I would guess it would help stop the sun from heating the inside of your home.

I don't know how much space you have but the top part of the pole is flexible so it can be moved to, perhaps, shine light where you need.

There aren't specific poles for that purpose but the structure of the gazebo makes it so that you can wrap things around the top frame. I added a string of outdoor solar lights just by wrapping the cord around the frame and securing with twist ties. I imagine with a lightweight material, you could add curtains. You might have to be a bit crafty to get it to work right. Hope this helps.

Seat post, rack mount, and other combinations are in the box. Guess I don't know what a reflecter mount is. Great light, you won't be missed. If there is any problem, its the "moth to a flame" issue. People tend to go where they look, and this light commands attention.

Definitely reflections from the light when turned on is triggering the sensor to go off. Example, if the light is under the eves of the roof or under an over hanging, the light will reflect off of that and sense daylight and go off. Point the sensor away from reflective light/towards the sky and it will work. Thanks. Sonny.

Hi again Wm. I see you've gotten a fair spread of replies. I purposely went outside at dusk this evening and panned across my pine and oak forest property so I could get a sampling of light and shadow. I could make out good detail at maximum viewing distance. There are probably more expensive products out there, but in this price range, these are probably as good as it gets.

Sure-It's very bright & adjustable. Just never leave it on the pole. It will fail if it even gets damp!

It is a printed image on plastic that can create some reflection. We mounted it to flats a tightly as possible, but there was still some slight ripples that would pick up the light.

If I were to do it, more than likely on the outside tip of the branches, you want the wind to catch it and light to reflect the hologram motif. I did not have much luck keeping nesting birds from my home gutters, but it may work better on a tree. I would recommend a decoy predator like an owl, but try the tape if you have it, as I say it may work better for your situation.

very reflective. You might want to aim it down to avoid confusion between the video image and the real image.

this might work, if exposed to enough light. something reflective might be a better choice. maybe a trial test would be in order to find out for sure.

Depends on how tall the trees are.... I would look for a more powerful light

It can not be used in place of the reflective triangles. The Highway Patrol appreciates the use of these. My recommendation, have and use both.

No markings on tape l bought to indicate that...it is NOT reflective...I would going to your local Auto parts srore

None that I know about. The only thing I know to do is use non-toxic Mylar or even aluminum foil as a reflector. Of course diamond Mylar is better. (Not that great, I know.) Leave space for cooling.
