Rotary laser level: the site where it changes everything
A line laser projects a line visible over twenty to thirty metres. A rotary sweeps a complete plane and is read with the detector up to 250 m around it. They...
Télémètres laserMeasuring a height you cannot reach: Pythagoras and angle
From the ground you measure the hypotenuse and the horizontal: the height is the root of the difference of their squares. At 6.00 m from a wall, a reading of...
Télémètres laserMeasuring an area and a volume with a laser distance meter
A laser distance meter does the multiplying itself: two lengths give an area, three give a volume. In a room 4.20 m by 3.10 m, the stated ±2 mm move the resu...
Niveaux laserA laser level under €100: what the price changes
Under €100 you find decent cross line lasers for indoor work. The first things to go are the 360° planes, pulse mode — and with it any prospect of a detector...
MéthodeLooking after, storing and carrying a laser level
What knocks a laser level out is knocks to the pendulum — and the pendulum only locks if you remember to switch the instrument off before packing it away. Cl...
Niveaux laserRun time, battery and USB-C charging on a laser level
The run time of a laser level depends mostly on how many planes are lit. On both our 360° models the manufacturer states about 6 h without naming the configu...
Niveaux laserLaser level or spirit level: what accuracy really changes
A spirit level measures a slope over the length of its body, and nothing beyond. Carrying that measurement along piece by piece piles up the errors. The lase...
MéthodeLaser level at the ceiling: suspended ceilings, downlights, track
A suspended ceiling is set out from the laser’s horizontal plane, never from the existing ceiling: that is almost never level. Carry the chosen level onto al...
MéthodeSetting out stud walls and track with a laser level
Mark the axis of the wall on the floor with the laser’s vertical plane, carry it to the ceiling with the same plane without moving the instrument, fix the tr...
MéthodeStated range, real range: reading the figures
A stated range is measured in good conditions, on a favourable surface, and often with a detector. On site, ambient light, the colour of the substrate and ho...
MéthodeLaser level outdoors: the detector becomes compulsory
In daylight, sunlight drowns the laser line within a few metres: that is not a weakness in the instrument, it is a ratio of powers. The detector picks up the...
Niveaux laserCross line, 3D, 4D or rotary: which laser to choose
A cross line laser is enough for a shelf or a splashback. The 3D covers a whole room with three 360° planes. The 4D adds a second horizontal for the ceiling....
