Frequently Asked Questions
Why are RedBack Lasers Line Lasers brighter than other brands?
A few reasons!
- We sell Class 3 (<5mW output) Line Lasers which are a higher power output than our competitors (who sell Class 2 <1mW output)
- 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.
- Our best Line Laser – the XLG44 is powered by 9 x Laser Diodes compared to 3 x Diodes that is standard.
Is Laser Class important for Line Lasers?
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.
Can Line Lasers be used outdoors?
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.
Are Green Line Lasers brighter than Red Line Lasers?
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).
Why choose a RedBack Line Laser?
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.
The secret to brighter lasers is not colour...
Focus on Laser Class instead!
Laser Class = Power Output of your Laser
There are two Laser classes commonly (& legally!) sold in Australia for construction use.
Class 2 is <1mW Power
This is what is commonly sold by the "big brand" tool companies & laser suppliers.
Class 3R is <5mW Power
This is what RedBack Lasers are proud to sell for the majority of their Line Laser (& some Rotating Lasers!) range.
The difference?
Our Red & Green Class 3R Lasers are the brightest you can get your hands on in Australia. To get the Class 3 Advantage - look for the icons below!
3D3XR
The service, the quality, the speed in which it showed up. It even has a calibration certificate on it dated the day i ordered it so no issues with old certification date. I bought the laser for my son. Hey was abit sceptical due to it being a red laser. But. The moment he used it for the first time he sent me a photo of it saying he's never seen a red laser so bright. Nor had his work m8s. It actually out shines his green laser and has a thinner line at a longer distance. Im very happy with red back all round. Would highly recommend this company. Shame i cant send the photo he sent me. Cheers.
Useful Accessories for Line Lasers
– Use your 3D Multi Line Laser outdoors!
– Mounting & Elevation options for your Line Laser!
– Enhance the visibility of your Line Laser!
Line Lasers are ideal for:
RedBack Lasers 3D3X Range of 360 Degree Line Lasers available in both Ultra Bright Red (3D3XR) & Green (3D3XG) Laser versions. All aspects of Levelling, Alignment, Square and Plumb up and down are covered. Both models include Magnetic Elevating Base and Li-ion Rechargeable Battery and Charger. You can even operate on “AA” cells whilst charging the Li-ion battery outside of the unit, thus, incredibly handy if someone forgot to charge the battery the day before.
These two 3D Multi Line Lasers can also be purchased as a kit (3D3XR+, 3D3XG+) including the LLR705 LCD Display Electronic Receiver. Making them fully usable outdoors. Check out the poster below for some of the applications each model can do.
With 3D Multi-Line 360 degree lasers there is a choice, first of all between Red & Green and then secondly to buy with a receiver or not.
First up Red or Green? RedBack Lasers 3D3X 3D Multi-Line laser range have the SAME power output (class 3r) for both the Red & Green laser models. So, essentially the same “brightness”. Many other manufacturers have a lesser power on their reds compared to their greens. However, on some surfaces, the Red will appear brighter than the Green and on other surfaces, the reverse will be true. Also, some people, particularly those with colour blindness, will see one colour better than the other. So, concluding the question, Red or Green? it’s best if the person who is going to use the laser compares the two in the flesh and make their own mind up.
Buying as an outdoor kit with Receiver
The second question is whether to buy the 3D3X 3D Multi-Line Laser as a kit with an electronic receiver or not. If you are just planning to use this for indoor tasks then you can happily buy the base model without a receiver. Assuming you are wanting a laser to be reliably usable outdoors as well as indoors, then buying the kit including the electronic receiver is the way to go.
The receiver operates very much like a receiver on a rotating laser. It effectively sees the laser for your when it’s too bright outside for you to visibly see the laser beam itself. When choosing between the RedBack 3D3XR+Red or 3D3X0G+ Green line laser there is a fairly significant difference between the two. The 3X3DR+ will operate up to 240m diameter using the LLR705 receiver, whereas the 3X3DG+ operates up to 80M diameter. Therefore, for longer range outdoors the 3D3XR+ Red models are the way to go.
3D Multi Line lasers with 360 degree coverage
These styles of line laser have been available few just a few years but they have already grabbed a large chunk of the market. They are the ultimate indoor installation laser level.
Previously to have a laser that carried out all the tasks these can handle meant a large device. These large devices had a number of separate laser diodes. Therefore, this meant more expense and more battery power. On these new 3D 360 Multi-Line lasers only one diode is used per 360 degree line so enabling a more compact unit. With this RedBack Lasers Laser range you get equal power output on the red and green line lasers.
You also get Li-ion rechargeable power and the ability to charge outside the unit. For instance, you can carry on working with standard “AA” batteries as a back up.
The 3D3X range of lasers from RedBack are ideal for just about any type of indoor installation jobs. For example, they are great for Electricians, Carpenters, Window Installers, Plasterers, Tilers, Garage doors, Pallet racking, Kitchens, Bathrooms and much more. The ability to provide Horizontal level, Vertical alignment, Plumb floor to ceiling as well as Square means just about every requirement is covered.
If you purchase the outdoor kit with receiver then a whole new list of trades opens up. For example, General site levelling for Builders and Construction, Extension foundations, Shed slabs, Decking etc.
