The best laser levels in 2022

Laser levels are a modern alternative to conventional bubble devices. They have less error and wider functionality. In addition, their performance is more practical, and the degree of convenience in use is noticeably higher.

Today, not only professionals, but also ordinary buyers can purchase this tool. However, when choosing, it must be borne in mind that not all manufacturers provide the best laser levels in 2022.

Therefore, before purchasing a tool for your own use, it is advisable to understand the variety of products on the market, their parameters and principles of operation.

Which is better

One of the main criteria when choosing a laser level is to determine the scope of tasks for which the tool is purchased. And for this you need to understand the principle by which marks are built by this device.

Absolutely all laser levels work on a diode system that turns an electric current into a narrow beam of green or red light. This process occurs in such a way that photons appear in the buffer zone formed between the two semiconductors of electricity.

Then they fly out through a hole in one of the walls. In this case, the laser beam must be focused so that it does not scatter due to the non-directional movement of photons. The laser level has lenses and prisms for this purpose. However, on which system they are located depends on the type of device itself.

What types are

dotted

The simplest level, it contains a static laser and one focusing lens through which photons move. Such a device must be configured independently through the built-in bubble levels. It looks like a simple laser pointer projecting a light beam along the wall. Once leveled, the beam will not be visible in the air, but will appear as dots on the surfaces it passes through. It will be enough for the builder to mark the necessary places with a marker and rely on them in further work.

This type of levels can also be with two opposite lasers, which helps to transfer the markup from the bottom up or accurately apply it along long walls.The point device is ideal for homework or marking on a long surface, where it is not necessary to use expensive high-end equipment, but it has a high probability of error, which must be taken into account when buying.

Linear

A very popular type of laser levels, as it projects a beam in the form of a line. Also in its functionality there is such an option as displaying a mark in any place where the laser meets an obstacle.

The linear laser level differs from the previous type by the presence of an additional diverging lens. Many of these devices have several lasers at once to build more lines. Also, this level has one extremely useful option - auto-levelling, due to which a possible error during installation is corrected.

Models of these lasers, as a rule, have a very reliable auto-centering and a wide angle of coverage. Therefore, they are most often used in finishing and construction in situations where it is necessary to install a plane to adjust the work.

Rotary

This is a tool for professional use, it builds a horizontal plane over large areas. According to the mechanism of operation, it is a point laser rotating at an adjustable frequency. The device has a very large coverage and range, and a very low percentage of error.

Combined

Such laser levels combine functions of different types, for example, adding the ability to build additional points and lines in rotary levels, which this option is not typical of.

Characteristics for selection

Criteria to pay attention to when choosing a laser level:

1. Temperature Range. There are two operating temperature options for laser levels:

• From -10 to +40 °С;
• from 5 to 40 °С.

Which one to choose depends on the room in which the work will be carried out. The first option is suitable for use in positive temperature conditions. Whereas the second should be used in unheated rooms or outdoors during the cold season. But it must be borne in mind that the designs of the devices of the second option are more complicated, and, accordingly, the price is higher.

2. Distance.

• From 2 to 50 m;
• from 50-200 m.

The first option is suitable for working in a room with a normal area. Such devices are affordable and economical in battery consumption. The second applies when working on large objects.

3. Accuracy.The most minimal deviations can be found in levels that are used in the construction of large objects, where even very small errors can be noticeable. When finishing work, you can use devices with a deviation coefficient of up to 0.8 mm / m.
4. Rays. Most often, there are two cross beams in laser levels, but in some models there may be more of them, the quality of the markup depends on the quantity, the more of them, the more convenient.
5. Fastening. It depends on the type of mount whether an adapter is needed to mount the device on a tripod; in many models, several types of mount threads are provided at once.
6. What color is the beam. Most often, a laser sends a red beam in devices, but green is also found - such projections are better visible in illuminated rooms, but they are more expensive and less economical in power consumption, and they will not work at sub-zero temperatures.
7. Functional. Popular and useful features that a laser level may have:

• Self leveling;
• self-shutdown;
• rangefinder.
