What is the reach (range) of the laser?
2031060
Projection range of the laser beam is 5 m (up to 16 ft);Range projection laser point: 20 m (up to 60 ft);Accuracy: ± 0,5 mm / m (Up to ±3/16" @ 33-ft);

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

The laser can be zeroed to the sights but you need to pick a specific distance to set zero. Remember the laser is an inch or so below the barrel so it has to rise to meet the bullet line of fire. Any shot that is less than the zero distance will be high- any shot further than the zero distance will be low- to varying degrees depending on the distances. If you zero at 7 yards you should be inside a six inch circle at 3 to 10 yards - good enough for self defense inside a home. In my humble opinion.

4.5" if it sat flat on the ground to the line of the laser... BEST friggin' laser EVER!!!

about 2' off the ground is the minimum height of the tripod that the laser sits on

Realistic range is 5-7 ft before you're trying to arc the spray onto the target.Cold Steel has some videos available to show the max range, how the spray hits the target etc as well.

I can hit trees with the laser at about 1/4 mile away (might go further). You have to kind of track the laser starting from close up and walk it to that distance other wise it is hard to pick up.

I would assume it would work but not well... The laser operates by spinning, and it projects a beam across the work. It would pit a beam across the first few inches, but I don't think you would be able to see the laser line beyond that

The one I bought is useless out doors, I can only see the Green laser spot at about 15ft in bright light. The only thing its good for is playing with my cat.

The max distance we tried was 50 feet, with no problems. I watched a LaserLyte video prior to buying that said there was no maximum range. As long as the laser touches the red circle, it would work. You just need to be careful that the ambient light is low. Any sort of bright light will activate the 'foot' on the bottom of the cans, knocking them over. We cut out a circular piece of cardboard and taped it to the top of each can, like a baseball hat, to block the ambient light. Overall, these cans are great! I got them for my husband for his birthday; he was like a little kid.

I'm not sure of the range but because it is an Led light source and the light is higher up on the Kelvin scale is seems to flood out quite far and brightly. Again I'll state that I stop using this product because of reliability issues.

hello, the best range/distance of the lights is 30-50 meters, most likely, 60 meters also available

The beam spreads out as it gets farther away. It has an 8 to 1 spread ratio, so at 40 centimeters, the read area is a 5 centimeter diameter circle. It doesn't list a maximum range, but as the target gets farther away, the measuring circle gets large enough to be useless.

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that

600 feet unless you're touching the transmitter antennae. You have to hold it out like the Statue of Liberty to get that range.

It does not measure. It only gives you a level or plumb line. It's nice because it self levels, you don't have to level it your self. It's probably off 1/16" at 50'. It's best at max of 30' since most people move the laser to a different spot if it's any further. I've gone 50' + setting lights on a 20' ceiling and I could not tell any accuracy issues. It also hooks on to a screw of a metal 4sq box and the laser lines up with the center Knockout. I love this laser. The one I had before was a manual level craftsman. This is a big step up.

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.

Maynard. It can. You can actually use it anywhere. If you go out in your backyard and need to know how far it is to your neighbor's fence, you just aim, click and put the laser on the object you are trying to measure and it will tell you the distance.
