Laser Levels

Laser levels are hand-held or tripod-mounted tools that project a laser line, dot or rotating beam to mark a level, plumb or square reference, so you can hang, tile or align work without a spirit level and string line.

Anyone searching for a laser level retailer will find models with green or red beams: green beams appear brighter to the eye and suit larger indoor projects where the line needs to stay visible over distance or in bright light, while red beams remain a cost-effective choice for shorter indoor runs and everyday DIY jobs. RS carries laser levels in multiple varieties from beam colour to projection type and more.

Types of Laser Levels

RS New Zealand's laser level range covers three beam types, each suited to a different job, working distance and budget.

• Line laser levels: A visible thin line projected onto a surface, designed for indoor use and often equipped with plumb-up and plumb-down capability for hanging pictures, shelves or keeping a tiling run straight.
• Dot laser levels: A simple projected point, level, square or plumb, with 2-point, 3-point or 5-point models covering verticals, horizontals and 45-degree angles.
• Rotary laser levels: A motor-driven, 360-degree line over long distances, generally for horizontal work though some models also work vertically, and the most accurate option in the range for outdoor jobs like grading, foundations or pipe laying.

Matching the beam type to the room, site and distance involved makes the difference between a laser level that earns its keep and one left in the case.

Applications of Laser Levels

A laser level suits professional construction work and household projects alike, wherever you need a level, plumb or square reference without a laser spirit level and string line.

• Tiling: keep rows level and joints aligned across a wall or floor, even over long runs where a spirit level alone would need constant repositioning.
• Surveying: mark accurate reference points over long distances outdoors, including grading and levelling work on site.
• Kitchen installation: line up cabinets, benchtops and splashbacks square to each other before fixing them in place.
• Bathroom installation: align tiling, vanities and fixtures square to the wall, helping avoid costly rework once fittings are sealed in.
• General DIY and renovation work: hang shelving, pictures and curtain rails accurately without a helper holding a string line.
• Fencing and decking: check that posts and rails run level and square across a long boundary line before fixing anything permanently in place.
