Would this be good for when I walk the dog at night? I basically need to see the area within 10-15 ft of where I'm walking

I would say that it would work for that. I've used to for night walks and camping and haven't had any issues. It has three brightness settings.

I would think it would be perfect. The light has three settings - you just click the button on the right side on the lamp to get the level of beam you need. My son used it on a trip to the cloud forest in Ecuador and he reports that it provided good light in those conditions. Hope this helps!

I am not sure of the distance the light reflects but tomorrow I wll try to measure it and let you know. They are really bright and I am pretty sure on the highest beam you would get that distance or close to it.

I would agree with the previous responder. It only works in darkness but does work well

Yes, the biult-in IR illuminator allows one to see pretty well up to 30 yards when in near complete darkness. But you don't want to look at the ground in front of your feet 'cause the image you see is not true 1x. Bascially the ground will look closer than it actually is when using the NVD and it is hard to not stumble when navigating this way. Use one eye with the device to look ahead, use the other to glance at what is in front of your feet. If its too dark to see whats in front of you with your unaided eye, then tuff luck. A good headleamp may be more pratictal for trail walking.

Yes I routinely capture animals at night @ 40-60 ft. It is black & white so details diminish with distance.

Oh yes, it is really bright and I can see extremely far with the beam of the light (accress a wheat fields into my horse pasture.... to give u an idea of its clarity). I will say the only thing I was not expecting was the size, it's not heavy and it comes with a shoulder strap, but it is bigger than expected. I do think it would be easy to spot your dog's no problem as well as scare off unwanted animals. My husband uses it for watching deer behind out house and scouting for coyote.

it magnifies light, and it could be too bright, Cause it is a 1-1 ratio like looking with the naked eye, it wouldn't help in that fashion. Better off getting a night vision scope.

The smaller light is sufficient to see within 30 feet but is not overly bright. The LED is much brighter and useful as a spot and will project well up to about 100 feet.

It should work pretty well finding your dogs but scaring off a mountain lion I don't know about that but if you shine it on the mountain lion the light is bright enough that it probably won't see you.

It's really not meant to be a security motion detector, will see you at about 5 feet away and light up your path....works great at that!

Yes, the night vision is really good. The only thing is you need to get an IR light that projects at least 30 feet or so, maybe even get an IR flashlight that throws IR light even farther for outdoor activity.

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!

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

It's very bright within about 10yards and past that you can see but the light past 15-20 yards fades out to blackness. Which is nice if you have a city lot, won't bother the neighbors.

I use it to walk my dogs at night which takes about 15/20 minutes and it is good for a couple of weeks between charges.

depends on the light outside, the darker it is the farther you can see it, but don't count on anything farther than twenty feet. the laser is really weak.

I had it attached to my fence, and it did well up to approx 12'. Did not do well at night. It was very blurry with night photos.

I'm sure it can be used for that. I love my sport dog. I have one for my Aussie, he wears his all day but not at night. He knows the the limits of the road and it's nice to be able to remind him where those are sometimes. Great product love it every day.
