You can not adjust the laser brightness. The reason is that Walk With Path are bound by safe laser regulations. Therefore, we are not able to include a brighter laser in the product. Because of the regulatory limitations to the brightness, it may be hard to see the visual cue in bright sunlight. However, a lot of our users report regular use in outdoor environments.
You can easily use Path Finder with a cane, a walker or on its own. In other words, because it is hands free, it can be used with and without other aids.
