Is the laser light bright enough to follow it along the car's hood?

Absolutely. It works with motion detection so I've had service people notice it and comment that a neighbor kid was pointing laser at me/them.

Yes. Bright enough. I can see it on the hood. It disappears when it crosses the gap between the hood and windshield, then reappears on the dash.

Yes it is. However, Many people, myself included, have had the laser go dim after some months/years requiring replacement.

It does illuminate pretty good better near than far but I think far enough if you have your headlights set up right.

The light is bright enough to illuminate a front door area. You should consider how you will be placing the light with respect to the motion sensor. I had this light at my front door but I placed it to high so the motion sensor lost its range. It worked for me but I have re-located this light to my garage.

Nothing you can put on a dashcam is going to be powerful enough to illuminate anything much beyond your own hood. IR LEDs are useful only for dashcams that are taking pictures INSIDE your car.

It's a very bright laser, however on a nice, sunny day it will not show. I've had luck locating it on overcast days though.

Depends, if your pathway is very dark (no streetlights) then yes it would be bright enough.

It is fairly bright but for somewhat close work. It certainly is cheap enough for a try!

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.

Without paying a lot more, yes, it'll get close, sometimes even under the lens hood. Watch for the shadow.

Yes, but it is not easy to sight in the laser. I use the flashlight and I love it.

Yes, I'd say so. It is bright but the swivel head will allow you to point it down to limit the range of the light.

Yes. And it works really good! The display is bright at night time. It basically lights up my car

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.

LIDAR detection is excellent, plus the device identifies whether the laser gun is ahead of you or behind you. Tip: keep at least one car ahead of you in city driving. The V1 will report LIDAR used against the car(s) ahead of you so you can react. I was the lead car from a traffic light and got caught by LIDAR, and there was no escape from that one.

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

Yes it is bright enough for that task. I have two of them and they light up most of the front of my house.

I love it. It is so bright that it is a great light to keep in your car. It is like a police spot light. Example finding street signs at night and people's addresses in the dark.
