Green Beam Rotary Lasers

Green Beam Rotary Lasers are relatively new to the construction and surveying industry. Most people I’ve spoken with have not used a green laser but have heard of the famous “brighter beam”. During our last product demo from Pacific Laser Systems (PLS) I had the chance to see their new PLSHVR-500G first hand. The PLS rep set up the standard red laser and the new green laser in the hallway so we could see just how bright the beam was. Glancing down the hall I was amazed at what I saw. The red beam was visible but the green beam was super bright and crisp. In fact green lasers are 4X brighter than conventional red lasers. Plus the human eye is more sensitive to the color green. Some people are still a little reluctant when it comes to investing a new laser so below I’ve addressed the most common questions I’ve received from customers interested in a green rotary laser.

“What difference does the color make?” Red rotary lasers will travel farther and because of this they are more ideal for outdoor use. Green rotary lasers have a brighter beam making them more ideal for indoor use where the beam should still be visible to the naked eye.

“Will they work outside?” Yes! Even though green lasers are most suitable for indoor use they will still work outside. All the green models I’ve seen match their red counterparts as far as accuracy is concerned. The range of a green laser is shorter than that of a red laser. But for more info on that you will need to compare specific models.

“Will I have to buy all new equipment?” as far as hardware is concerned, tripod, pole etc., there is no difference. The green beam is different from the red so a red detector will not work with a green laser. Most of the green lasers can be purchase as a kit that will include a detector. And extra detectors are also sold separately.
