Is a backlit LED needed when using a laser distance measure?

We will recommend getting a product with a backlit LED display screen if you are going to work in the dark or under the sun. That would make work so much easier by offering you a clear vision. Also, you will not need any other light sources in the area, and you can easily work at night. 

Even if you do not plan to work in the dark at the moment, it is always safer to have a device that has this option.
