Need to gain attention at a neighborhood event at nite. Would this strobe be effective drawing notice? 1 dim streetlight nearby.

It would work, but not from a distance. It would be better as a garage type decor.

i dont think this would call anyone attention. installed in my living room for a bithday party and it was ok but still weak in my opinion.

Yes it will reflect of street signs at night. It's fine for unlit paths but you can't see off to the sides very well as it is more of a spot type of light and don't plan on riding at a high speed because you'll outrun the light. I don't know what your budget is but if you can afford to spend $150 or more Bush & Mueller or cygolite are the best options in my opinion.

My guess is yes. Based on it's intended use, just doesn't seem right that it would sink. Strobe won't do anyone a bit of good on the bottom unless you're in knee deep water.Fortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to see if this unit works as advertised. I'll check it out before boating season begins when I double check all other items. Might need to change batteries.

I don't think so Keith. I bought it for my 90 year old father for his apartment. He hated it...it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD....and the flashing strobe too much for him....perhaps it may work if your warehouse isn't huge?

When the light is activated without the alarm, the light does not provide light like a flashlight. It does provide a sufficient amount to do small tasks such as finding your house key in the dark. When the alarm is activated, the strobe is a similar amount of light as above but not a beacon! On a pitch black night, it is very visible. I live on a small island and I faithfully wear the alarm as I bike at night. I believe that it is a valuable tool that may prevent me from becoming a victim of criminal activity. The sound this small unit provides is loud enough and attracts a lot of attention. It is difficult to put all of your confidence in such a small device for protection but I can tell you that I feel a lot more secure carrying this alarm than not. The battery (9 volt) lasts a long time and I check it frequently to make sure it will work when I need it. I personally would prefer that it did not have a strobe light because the device itself becomes easier to see when it is activated. This may allow someone to throw it or put the cord back in to stop the alarm. I think their first thought, however it to get the heck out of there!! I have never been sorry that I bought the alarm and in fact, buy them as gifts for many of my friends.

I would agree with most of the assessments on the quality. It isn't bad, but it ain't great! What would really be a great benefit is a strobe flash if they could have provided or would be an accessory to use. Much better for outdoor in full light level photography than for indoor "birthday party" snapshots. AlanW

It seems bright, but at a distance of 4 to 5 feet you'll be shooting at f/ 5.6, ISO 400 And 1/30th to 1/60th of a second. Diffusion would make it almost unusable. Send me an email and I'll send you a photo.

I can't see what item you talking about but, if you are asking about the Strobe Motion Alarm Yes you can. I have mine outside in the balcony area since 2009. I just put a small piece of wood over it and it work perfect. Someone did stole my water fountain ones, after I put this they tried one more time but this thing it's so loud that they run and never came back. Victor

No Shauna, it's not all THAT bright. It's bright enough, but not so much so that it will hurt your eyes. Of course I'd only use the strobe feature for a highway warning or something like that. But the normal light settings are just like having a two-brightness lightbulb. I bought my two mainly for home usage when our electricity goes out; but they'd be handy for camping or keeping one in your car as well.

It depends on the distance you throw the beam. It's ability to illuminate much is greatly decreased after about 20 to 30 feet. that is why I rated it low for higher speed after dark riding. It would be fine for city streets. I would approximate it to cast a beam a little narrower than one lane of a street at about 20 feet. That assumes you point it down for this perspective. if you tilt it up more it will throw a wider beam further down the street, but you drastically lose brightness. The sweet spot is probably 20 feet out and 8 to 9 feet wide.

I think it depents on what you're going to use it for. To use it to light up area, I don't think its usefull. However, to use it as a marker or decoration it is very effective for your property.

It lights up a pretty wide angle. And the sensor also has a wide angle. I think it would be fine for your purpose.

it might be visible, but dont count on using it during the day time. for day time visibility you are better off wearing neon clothing and using hand signals.

Not really. I put two in a new motion detector backyard light, and they rarely fully illuminate the first time you walk by. Doesn't do much good if you have to keep going by a light to get it to turn on enough to be useful.

That's very subjective. I find it quite bright even in daylight and the strobe mode definitely attracts attention. Indoors during the day, if I forget to turn it off, bike shop employees have commented how bright the light appears to them. Blinding? A dark-adapted person would find it quite uncomfortable at close range if pointed straight at them.

in my opinion, NO it will not give off enough light to light up an area for the party. you would be better off with a quartz light for your application.

Gives out a nice bright white light. We have this light in the entry way and it lights the area nicely.Yes, it would work well.
