In bright outdoor conditions the laser beam will be over powered by the strength of the sun. If you are working outdoors it is recommended to use a detector which will locate the position of the beam even when you can't see it with the naked eye. A detector may be included in your laser kit or be available to purchase separately.

Whilst there is no difference in visibility between red and green beam outdoors, green beam lasers have improved visibility indoors. For this reason, green beam lasers are often popular for those using them for indoor applications. Below are some advantages and disadvantages of both red beam and green beam.

RED BEAM

Advantages:

- Less expensive in comparison to green beam lasers

- Longer battery life in comparison to green beam lasers

Disadvantages:

- Indoor visibility is diminished

GREEN BEAM

Advantages:

- Improved visibility indoors

Disadvantages:

- More expensive in comparison to red beam lasers

- Shorter battery life in comparison to red beam lasers

- More care must be taken around class 3 green beam lasers due to increased eye sensitivity
