Is this easy to see in bright daylight or dim conditions?

I found it easy to read in both bright daylight and at twilight. Since I only use mine when the camera is mounted on a tripod I would be comfortable using it -- with the aid of either a headlamp or an assistant holding a flashlight -- after dark.

I don't like the dimming but it is a battery saver. What I don't like even more is the screen contrast. No options. My sky caddy has 4 or 5 settings, much better. Additionally I don't like the side controls, to easy to accident push one when grabbing it. Hope that helps.

Yes. The numbers are very dim in the daytime even though it is shaded. At night it can be seen well.

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

Very easy - it's good in pretty much any conditions. Definitely the best screen I have ever used in bright sunlight.

It's fairly dim lighting. The only thing I would say is that the light climbs all the way to the ceiling and that might be brighter in a small room. Hope that helps.

The view window is kind of small but once you get used to it, the unit does a nice job. I still prefer a regular larger unit when lighting permits. I always keep this one close by though incase it's too dark.

I have not tried it in the day time but would say it would not be that bright

It's bright enough for me ! I have no difficulty seeing it day time or night time .

It's a little bit more difficult to see in bright light, but it's not that noticeable. I think the screen is still visible and clear.

It's definitely not dim! It's a very bright light---probably at least 150 w equivalent. I have 4 of them spaced about 8 ft apart in a big square pattern in recessed cam light sockets in my studio and it's a bright as a very sunny day in the whole 12x16 ft room with no windows.

With a fresh battery, it's fine in normal daylight. Switching colors to contrast with the background is helpful in bright ambient light.

During daylight hours the picture does diminish somewhat. When direct light hits the screen there is glare from the light. I am able to watch TV without a problem with natural light in the room.

No it is not bright, not nearly as bright as it appears in the photo. It is beautiful and relaxing.

yes, i run it on 10 or 11 power in bright sunlight and have no issue seeing it.

It's bright enough to see easily during the day, so I expect it would very bright at night. They've removed the flashing feature due to customer feedback so it remains on steadily when your device is on the pad. "Customizing" it with black tape should solve any night time issues.

I think thaty that I have seen that it was Dim-able. I use mine where I need a lot of light. Like the area to eat and cool. They have enough light that even when fly tying you do not have to have a close light.
