Is it possible to measure distance with this Laser during night? when it is dark or on the contrary when it is too shinny?

Absolutely, the laser works best in low light conditions. You do have to be careful in direct sunlight, which can affect the reading. As for shiny surfaces I tested it for you on a mirror, black shiny surface and a glass surface with a white background, it worked perfectly. I own this laser for about a year and it works perfectly every time.

No, the laser is not easily seen in sunlight. I would not advise buying this instrument with outside use in mind

I haven't used it outside. I think it will be visible if it's the surface is not in direct sunlight and if the distance from the laser isn't too great.

I don't think the light is bright enough to do that. Need to use it for things up close.

The laser is hard to see outside and if the sun is low (as in the morning) and shining toward you it can interfere with the measurement (will not report erroneous results, but will report "error" instead of a measurement).

It is a very, very faint illumination. If you are sure that it is getting enough sunlight to recharge it during the day, then you should be able to see a light glow at night for a few hours. You do have to look very close. It is a cool feature but not the best one functionally. :D

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.

Was it already night time? I found that it does not take good shots at night, they all come out blurry

I would not recommend it for that. There is more specialized equipment for that. This is primarily for the detection of luminaires. I use it in construction because when doing night work you have to meet a certain criteria.

No this piece of junk can't see at night, and good luck getting it to dee duly ring the day. I would recommend putting in a couple extra bucks for something else, especially if it's for security purposes!

My guess is that you would want more light than this will provide. Out side at night there is normally not much around to reflect light back. A much more powerful light is normally desired.

You can measure any distance inside or outside as long as the laser hits a solid object. I measured to my ceiling just for fun and it worked great. So accurate it can distinguish the bumps from my textured ceiling.

I use mine for floor to ceiling measurements all the time. in direct sunlight it cant read the laser.

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.

It is visible in bright daylight for a limited distance. My Lasermax and Lasergrips usually are visible to 10 or 15 yards in sunlight. They aren't ideal (red lasers) in sunshine, but they are usable at self defense distances. At least mine have been.

The unit is not weatherproof. The laser dots would probably show up on leaves close by, but not more than twenty or thirty feet.

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.
