Has anyone actually used these outside during the day? These would be for outdoor use only for the kids. If it does work, approx range?

I have used them outside....I would say no more than 10 feet on the range....we mainly use them inside

These would be great for up close. Throw a very wide beam. However the range is probably 100-150 feet. If you are a crawler they would work be great nothing in that range would be out of sight. If you want some distance they make Spotlight versions of these. I have some of the round ones and they shine a good ways down the road. I put them on my 4 wheeler.

my friend and I own a pair and we use them all the time. outside, if the sky is clear and there's no buildings between you, they'll reach a solid mile. but indoors our around a lot of buildings, they'll only reach a few hundred yards, if that.

Hi.. I use them outdoors and use outdoor speaker wire connected to my main radio. They work amazing. So they have to be connected to a power source through speaker wires.. Hope this helps.

I have two outside. They are under cover, but outside. They work just fine. My only complaint is the lack of night vision capability.

Although I did try it at work in a good sized building with a metal roof, I say not great. I can't say how it would work outdoors and I haven't tried it in the house, I own two and I mainly use it for Bluetooth on my Iphone.

I have had mine set up in the house at about 30 ft and they work fine. My Sirt laser pistol will cast a visible beam on the neighbors garage about 300 yards across the park when it is close to dusk. I was assuming that it would work if the beam was visible but I haven't tested that theory. I can't see the visible beam over 30-40 ft outside on a sunny day. I haven't tried the targets outside yet. I will get back to you when I do

I have mine in my backyard, it works fine when it is dark, not sure how good it would work during the day in the sunlight.

I don't feel that they would. I use them daily in an urban retail setting and they do fine. I know they will reach about a mile in the city through buildings and trees. The signal is strong but don't think they would reach that far.

The range is easily a few hundred feet. My children have very early bedtimes and I use mine outside in the yard all the time! I can go about halfway into my 1 acre yard before the signal goes out.

I am not sure of the exact range, we have a good sized yard, and never had a problem with range in the house or outside.

I don't think Bose endorses them for outdoor use. However, if you live in a moderate climate without too many extremes and shelter them from rain and direct sun, they could work. For the record, I thought about installing them on our deck (sheltered) and decided instead to go with wireless speakers that I keep indoors when not in use. Also Bose makes some great outdoor speakers that might be better suited for your purpose. I have a set that have gone through fairly extreme weather and still sound great.

The range is good for a gymnasium. (Our gym holds about 1000 people.) We have used them for school assemblies, but not much more. The only problem is the charge. They go dead really fast and can barely survive a 30 minute school assembly. If used for a short activity, then they are great.

I have about 5 of them and once in a while I will move one to the outside. As long as its not submerged or too far away from its wifi connection, it works just fine. Its when i place it too far away that I lose connection. I put it under an awning/covered area so that it doesn't get hit directly by the elements. I also placed a little duct tape around the openings in the back where the plugs go in so that no dust etc get in there. So far it works just fine outside based on my tests.

The reason it might not work outside is due to the fact that the remote uses IR light (just like a TV remote) to talk to the robot. The sun tends to be far too bright and often overpowers the small amount of light from the remote control. Using it in a shaded area, or at dusk/dawn, should work fine - provided the unit is operating on a smooth surface and has sufficient charge in its batteries, of course!

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.

Hi.My son has it on his bike and he said that they are somewhat visible at close range in daylight, but not noticeable from a distance. They are awesome in the dark. Hopefully this helps!
