I now have several versions of the laser level that I tend to use more than
I probably should, however recently I tried to use my 360 rotating laser
level to landscape my yard and I couldn't see the laser outside. I tried
the rest of my laser levels with basically the same result. So now I've
looked at those expensive $600 + kits that have a laser detector that beeps
or something when the laser hits it. Does anyone know where to buy just the
detector for outside use?

Paint the inside wall of a fairly deep, narrow tin can (something like 3" X
12") with flat black paint, then the inside bottom with flat white. The flat
white paint prevents scattering of the line, reflection back into your eyes,
and the black suppresses daylight glare onto the white. From my description
you should see how it works.
