Review 6's complaint about poor visibility in bright conditions aligns with video reviewers' concerns about laser brightness limitations on jobsites.
In their words
“The product matches the description exactly. The green laser is very strong and visible even in bright rooms, with clear 360° lines and very good accuracy for carpentry and finish work. The self-leveling system works quickly and the magnetic bracket is solid and stable. The 12V battery fits perfectly and has good runtime. It arrived well packaged and without any damage. For the price, it exceeded ”

After fully charging the one 12v battery it comes wiith, i set it on the ground to check the 90 degree lines for flooring layout (the reason i bought this laser) with all the lights out i could barley even see it.”
