Multi-Line
Laser Levels

A few reasons!

1. We sell Class 3 (<5mW output) Line Lasers which are a higher power output than our competitors (who sell Class 2 <1mW output)
2. Our premium Green Line Lasers use OSRAM diodes – a premium German diode that projects a lighter & brighter wavelength of Green light that most customers find easier to see.
3. Our best Line Laser – the XLG44 is powered by 9 x Laser Diodes compared to 3 x Diodes that is standard.

Yes – extremely important!

Laser Class refers to the power output of a laser diode.

Higher Class = More Power = More Brightness

RedBack Lasers are proud to stock Class 3R Laser Levels – the brightest lasers you can legally sell & use for construction applications in Australia (and many parts of the world.)

CLASS 3R = <5mW Power Output

Nearly all Line Lasers sold by our competitors are Class 2

CLASS 2 = <1mW Power Output

This is why we mention laser class so regularly (and our competitors rarely advertise the class of their lasers.) Because it makes a huge difference in brightness when using these lasers visibily indoors.

YES – but not visibily!

Unfortunately the sun is too strong to allow lasers to be seen outdoors in 99% of applications.

To use a line laser outdoors, you need a Line Laser Receiver which allows you to detect the laser beams/lines. Line Laser Receivers can detect the Laser Lines that a laser produces, even in spots where the beam can’t visibly been seen. This makes it ideal for use outdoors where the Sun overpowers the visible beam.

Pairing a Line Laser & Receiver together can give you most of the capabilities of an Outdoor Rotating Laser, but with some added bonuses like easy vertical alignment, set-out/squares, portability etc.

Not Necessarily!

It is a common misconception that Green Line Lasers are brighter than Red Line Lasers – which dates back to the days when Green Lasers first arrived in Australia. Back then – Green Line Lasers were generally higher powered than the Red equivalent.

In RedBack’s range of Premium Multi-Line Lasers, Red & Green Lasers have similar power outputs for their diodes (<5mW). This means the brightness of the lines is almost identical, so there is no advantage choosing one over the other for visibility.

Red Line Lasers are generally cheaper than their Green counterparts, and have a wider working range when used with a receiver for outdoor work (~40m compared to ~150m).

We sell premium Line Lasers that are designed to be fully calibratable & repairable – not throwaway tools!

When you are looking for a line laser in Australia, make sure to do some research about calibration before you decide on a product/brand/supplier.
A lot of the Line Lasers bought in Australia are not repairable – including those sold at premium prices by some of the biggest tool-store chains in Australia. Other Line Lasers from popular companies cost more than half the purchase price for a simple calibration!

Buyer beware – just because a laser level comes from a big & famous tool company, doesn’t necessarily mean they actually back their products up with after-sales care. Many of these brands direct people to us to calibrate their lasers, and unfortunately many of these cannot physically be calibrated & they often don’t have spare parts available either.

If you want information about which brands to avoid – we’re happy to help. Obviously we will steer you towards our products, but that’s because we genuinely believe in not only the product, but also our ability to provide quality after-sales service if required.
