If you carry around a measuring tape like this for measuring things while you are away from home, this tape may not work that well for you in low-lighting or even bright store lighting. The tape is black and the printing is kind of a gold/grey color and it's not enough contrast for me. You CAN see it. It's not impossible to read, but it is necessary to focus and stick your head close to read the tape. Just so you know, the 0 point is not at the very end of the tape. In some situations that is helpful and in others not.
