I have one of these....DeWALT Cross Line Laser Green Beam 360° - Tool Kit Depot.
The range outdoors is poor- about 3m at best. I purchased a Dewalt digital laser detector to solve this problem but it is not compatible with this laser level. Other digital detectors (Bosch, etc) tested also do not detect this particular laser level's green beam.
Has anyone purchased a digital laser detector that works with this particular laser level (and what is it)?
Which digital laser detector for a Dewalt laser level?

It's the wrong type of laser unfortunately so no detector will work with it.
The sensors in laser detectors are designed to detect rapid changes in light intensity, which are caused by the beam's movement. Stationary beams don't provide this changing signal, so the detector will not register them.

I’ve been eyeing that same DeWALT green beam level and didn’t realize detector compatibility would be an issue. Did DeWALT support mention if any of their detectors actually work with it? Seems odd they’d make a tool that isn’t detector-friendly. Curioushave you tried using a target plate or a manual receiver outdoors in the meantime?

Yes, a target plate (green) was the first thig I tried. Made almost no difference. I have not yet contacted Dewalt support - I guess they exist.
I waited until sunset and then I could see the beam outdoors quite well on my measuring stick at about 8m from the laser level.
