Green Is the New Red: The One, Two, Three of Laser Level Tools

Small to large contractors often deal with the demand of precision, accuracy and alignment in all their construction applications. And rightly, it should be so – a single misalignment is one of the quickest ways to ruin the project that may affect the design and quality aspects of the infrastructure altogether. 

Needless to say, tools and devices play a great deal in making jobs easier and faster. It is also a matter of choosing the right tool that should also be put in consideration. Digital construction devices such as laser levels are the perfect tools that can accomplish alignment tasks with utmost precision. 


Laser levels are a common fixture in construction projects: these tools prove to be a reliable companion in positioning windows exactly, or hanging ventilation ducts and ceilings accurately. Bosch’s GCL 2-15 G Professional Combi Laser Level Device does exactly just that.  


Laser devices, such as the Bosch GCL 2-15 G, are designed to simplify precision work for tradespeople such as carpenters, electricians, installers and drywallers – even in unfavorable lighting conditions such as bright environments. It all takes few simple steps to effectively utilize the gadget and ultimately get the job done. 

1. Assess your area range 

It is important for professionals to evaluate the area before setting up the laser device. Area space and lighting conditions play a big factor to ensure that the chosen laser leveling device is appropriate for the task at hand. 

Leveling work in bright environments calls for a laser device that can clearly project laser diodes. Red laser lines are often much less visible, which means that applications such as installing windows or suspending ceilings can quickly be exhausting. The GCL 2-15 G Professional works with pure green laser lines, which is four times more visible to the human eye compared to the red ones. This type of diode is also more powerful, giving the tool a longer service life thanks to its lower operating temperature, and makes the tool more compact than those that use color conversion.  

Moreover, the GCL 2-15 G can an area up to 15 meters, perfect for working in short-range spaces. 

2. Mount the device properly 
The key to a precise laser alignment is proper set up. Laser leveling device must have complete stability to make sure it doesn’t get knocked off or moved. Tripods and clamps are some of the most common mounting accessories to position and secure the device. 

The Bosch GCL 2-15 Professional can easily be mounted with the help of its RM1 Professional rotating multifunctional mount, which enables users secure the tool in a wide variety of places on the floor, wall or ceiling. 

Floor applications can be easily done with this mount, and the plumb points are easily projected downwards thanks to the elevated position of the tool. Mounting and clamping features of the RM 1 Professional allows users to quickly and easily secure the device on existing profile sections and sections to, for instance, align air ducts or suspended ceilings during construction. 

For even greater freedom when positioning, the combi laser can also be mounted on standard tripods with a ¼” or 5/8” thread. The pendulum lock protects the tool during transit and when in storage. 

3. Let the level do its work 
Lasers with self-leveling functions provide time-saving benefits for users. It ensures that alignment, including diagonal alignment, is achieved with utmost precision and the self-leveling function is extremely useful for horizontal and vertical lines. Accurate, that’s what the GCL 2-15 G Professional is – it produces results with ± 0.3 mm/m accuracy in mere seconds.  

The GCL 2-15 G Professional also notifies the user when there are irregularities in the surface; the product’s laser lines will flash if the device notices any serious abnormalities. The product is designed to give accurate and precise results therefore one can guarantee their alignments to be straight.
