I'm thinking of getting this for use outdoors at night. Would you recommend it for that?

well, I will definitely recommend this projector for indoor use as I have it in my basement. I am sure you will be OK outdoors also and especially when it is dark. Its contrast is awesome and the picture quality is just great. one thing to note is that it does not have built in speakers. you will have to have a speaker if you want to use it outdoors. hope this helps.

It will work fine as long as you have sufficient screen area. Bugs might be an issue, but it should work great.

Absolutely! This is the most inexpensive HD projector you can get. It works fine. I projected onto a 110 in. screen. The image is flawless. The only "downside" of the projector is that you can't move the image left or right without moving the projector, which is only an issue if you are thinking of installing the projector to the side of the screen. Most people have their projector installed in the middle of room and directly onto the screen. Also this the top HD projector recommended by the Consumer Reports.Also I got mine for $850.

You can use it outdoors if you can plug it in somewhere. I wouldn't recommend leaving it out there. Are you thinking of putting up a bedsheet to show it on? Of course, you can get a screen. I was at a wedding reception a few years ago in which a local doctor put up a bedsheet, and set his laptop to automatically sequence jpg file photos of his daughter growing up at her wedding reception.

This is an excellent light that I use for a night work area. I have mine mounted on the back of my pickup and it lights up the back end of my tailgate and surrounding area as a work light. I would suggest two though for the purpose you are using it for. I have experience managing large truck fleets.

If you are talking late at night outdoors, I would say no this light source is not for you. If you are refering to an indoor shoot then you will be fine.

Yes, it would work well for this. The projector has to be a fixed distance from the screen which is probably about 4-5 feet to get to 120 inches, but should not be an issue since you are not mounting it. You can determine that with an online calculator. The Lumens are pretty high so should have pretty good visibility at dusk. Only other issue is it is not true HD (1080p) but still looks really good. I use it for my indoor Golf Simulator and it does the trick.

It is best used for land gazing at night, not to be pointed at illuminated or lighted objects.A telescope would probably serve your purpose better.

Most definitely. Though the sight does not enable you to see extremely long distances it is extremely good for close quarters. You will have no problem using it in the woods I use mine for finding the treestand before daylight.

yes, i use it just for night and maybe if you want to record a nice video this wouldn't be it but for monitoring the baby this is gr8 perfect for the job!

Hi Richard! I highly recommend for outside. It was the main reason I purchased this projector. Dusk works fine. Keep in mind though that any projector still passes the film through light so the darker it is outside the better the image. Oh and I highly recommend connecting a wii or other gaming device for larger than life play. Mario Kart is AMAZING ! Enjoy!

You possibly could use it as desktop lighting. It is not ideal in my opinion...not very bright. Also, the battery life is supposedly not very long. I would describe it as a "very bright night light", plus it looks great!!

I've never worn it at night with cars coming at me but I can tell you it's very, very reflecting and visible in the distance with only an out-in-the-country yard light shining on it, so I would expect it to be good on the road. Hope this helps! : )

We live in the country. It's real dark out here. I think it's plenty bright for our use. It can light up the trash barrels around midnight if I think a dog or other creature is in it.

It should be suitable for anything outdoors. Given that it has no light source I would recommend 2 IR lights as well to be able to see a bit farther. The battery lasts fairly long, I had it running for 2 hours straight and didn't have to change it.

That's exactly what i got it for and it's fantastic. It has to be after dusk. Project it on this screen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KA7BAA/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) with a PVC pipe frame I built. Some of my neighbors are a little snooty about image quality and they were extremely impressed. I hook it up to an amp and a subwoofer and we rock the neighborhood. All the neighbors come over and it's a party.

it's night performance is WAY better than I expected, it gives a good contrast with noiseless in low light conditions. use a tripod for better results. but keep in mind that you are not using a DSLR.

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 would be perfect as a bicycle light since you have multiple light modes, I think strobe mode would be a little too bright for other people though

Sure, I think it would work just fine. We use it in a well-lit church building every Sunday and it is powerful enough to over come the flourescent lights as well as sunlight coming in the windows...so I think it would work outdoors..especially after sunset.
