On the right Fluke's laser levels are arranged in a semi-circle. On the left large, black text on a yellow background reads "5 Reasons You Need a Fluke Laser Level".

Laser levels are integral to most electrical and HVAC installation and retrofitting applications. That’s why Fluke has developed a line of professional-grade laser levels and point-to-point tools specifically for electricians and HVAC engineers. Incorporating Fluke’s trademark precision, resilience, and reliability, these laser levels are perfect for professionals looking to improve their efficiency and accuracy. If you still need convincing, below are five reasons you need a Fluke laser level.[1]

5 Reasons You Need a Fluke Laser Level

Renowned for developing rugged, easy-to-use, precise test equipment, Fluke has applied these principles to its range of laser levels. Available with green and red lasers to ensure maximum visibility in a variety of environments, Fluke’s laser levels and point-to-point tools make jobs quicker and easier. You can toggle between pre-sets at the push of a button while a magnetic wall bracket provides stable mounting, allowing you to transfer layout points from drawings to sites quickly and install perfectly aligned fixtures, outlets, conduits, and ducts. Ruggedly designed and built to withstand a 1m drop, you can rely on Fluke’s laser levels to work impeccably every time.

In short, Fluke’s laser levels deliver accuracy, durability, efficiency, practicality, and versatility. Five reasons you need one!

If you’re still not persuaded, read on for more information.

1.) Accuracy

On the right on the image, a man in a grey hardhat and a blue shirt is leaning on the floor, marking a wall where the green laser line meets it. On the centre-left of the image a mounted Fluke laser level is projecting a green laser line onto the metal poles in front of it and on the white wall behind.

Equipped with a fast-settling, self-levelling gimbal, Fluke’s laser levels project precise, readable reference points instantly. They are accurate to 3mm at 10m, allowing you to map switchgear, ductwork, cable trays, lighting, outlets, and switches to a straight line with greater accuracy, ease, and efficiency, especially compared to chalk lines or reference strings that may sag, smear, or disappear.

2.) Durability

On the right of the image a workman in a lime green t-shirt and white hard hat is holding a Fluke laser level and pointing it at the metal beams in front of him. Behind him, the work site is littered with ladders and tools, and two other work men in hard hats and high vis are completing tasks.

Job sites are often rugged; therefore, you need a tough tool to withstand these environments. Fluke found that existing laser levels either broke or lost calibration when dropped. To address this, Fluke has designed their laser levels with a protective rubber housing that protects the tools and ensures they stay in calibration if dropped from 1m.

3.) Efficiency

A man in a grey hardhat, blue shirt, and protective glasses is marking a metal beam where the green dot from a Fluke point laser has been projected.

Using traditional tools such as bubble levels, plumb bobs, or chalk, it is estimated that electricians spend up to 25% of their time measuring and laying out jobs. This time-consuming activity limits the number of jobs you can complete during work hours which subsequently caps your profits. Moreover, these inconvenient methods often require two or more people to carry them out. However, with Fluke’s laser levels, it only takes one person to lay out a grid pattern on the floor and transfer the reference points onto the ceiling. It also reduces the number of times you need to go up and down ladders, minimising risk and saving time. With Fluke’s laser levels, what used to take hours now takes minutes!

4.) Practicality

On the left a Fluke laser level projects green vertical and horizontal lines that intersect at the bottom onto a grey slate. On the right a Fluke laser level projects red vertical and horizontal lines that intersect at the bottom onto a grey slate.

Fluke’s line laser levels and point laser levels have been optimised to ensure excellent visibility regardless of lighting conditions. To this end, both are available with red or green lasers and can be used with Fluke’s laser line detectors when there are high ambient light conditions. Providing bright, crisp, continuous laser lines or three clear laser dots (model dependent), Fluke’s laser levels offer a marked improvement on traditional tools. Unlike chalk likes, Fluke laser lines/dots are easy to see in dusty or dim environments and will not smear or brush away in wet or humid conditions.

5.) Versatility

At the bottom centre of the image a Fluke Laser Level is projecting a green, horizontal laser line through the work site dotted with metal beams. Two large coils of electrical cabling lie on the concrete floor while a man in blue overalls carries out his task in the background.

Electricians and HVAC technicians perform a multitude of tasks in an array of sites. Therefore, tools that perform consistently under a variety of conditions and that are suitable for a range of tasks are critical. Fluke’s laser levels and point-to-point tools more than meet this challenge.

Duct Work & Cable Trays

Use Fluke's point laser to transfer reference points from the floor to the ceiling and ensure things are straight to install ductwork and cable trays.

Switchgear & Mechanical Equipment

Improve the precision and ease of mounting switchgear and mechanical equipment with Fluke's laser levels. Project a smudge-proof laser line to ensure you drill holes accurately and only have to move heavy equipment once.

Conduit & Rigid Cable

Easily line up the centre points of several holes simultaneously using Fluke's laser levels or use Fluke's point lasers to transfer single points to ensure perfectly aligned holes required for installing conduit and rigid cabling.

Long Lighting Fixture Runs

Determine reference points for long fixtures with a Fluke point laser and use a Fluke laser level to create a perfectly straight run. Not only do these tools increase accuracy, but they also limit the number of trips up ladders or scissor lifts.

Outlets & Switches

Align a whole wall of outlets and switches at once with a Fluke laser level thereby improving efficiency, particularly when compared to using a chalk line or measuring tape.
