Laser Levels

[Italy]

not orangery, but room with green walls

 

[Old Mod]

have you tried it in a bright conservatory marc?
I would want some feedback for those conditions before buying

Oh would you now Julian? Haha
U realise I'm not a Dewalt rep, right? Hehe
Well funnily enough, if I ever get there, my next job is a Porcelthin job in a conservatory!
So I'll let you know! Haha

EDIT..... ORANGERY!

 

[Old Mod]

After reading this thread, I'm looking at buying the Dewalt 089d1 as it looks great! A new screwfix has opened near me, and they have 10% off everything! £423 after the discount, which seems quite a good price. I blame you @3_fall

Haha nothing to do with me Magga, I haven't even reviewed it on here!
But £423 would be a great price, mines from FFX cheapest I could find at the time at £454.

Well I've got it now, and I must say it's quite impressive!

How do you normally mount yours? I've got a pole that I used with my old one. Ideally I want something with height adjustment to mount it on!

There are so many ways to answer that question,
and they'd all be wrong!
Up to now I've been able to use the strong magnets on to beading,
The bracket that comes with it screwed to timbers and a tripod. I will try at some point to fit it to my Stanley adjustable pole, just haven't had need or time.

When I was a kid used to watch Gullivers Travels cartoon, there was a character whose name I couldn't say, but his phrase was "we'll never make it Gulliver, we'll never make it!" Hahaha

[Old Mod]

If u view image in original source Julian u can see line very clearly

 

[J Sid]

am thinking of one, but have been told they are only 20% better , true?

No! They're 4 times brighter
If I remember I'll test it alongside a red one at home tomorrow.
Job my memory in morning mate.

 

[White Room]

I would definitely get green next time...

 

[Old Mod]

Setting riser heights as we speak haha

 

[LM]

I've the 088k and if there's lots of light you can't see the line, so I'd say by looking at the above pics that it's probably a lot more than 20% better

Here we are @JulianSidney, @LEE MAC
A little test performed just now at 1pm in the garden, bright sunlight, on a white wall!
U can see cross hairs of my old Fat Max SCL laser and the cross hairs of my new Dewalt green multiline laser. (The horizontal green line is below the black line, they were different heights.)
Second pic shows the green line extends much further than the red.
Third pic, well, conclusive proof I think.


Oh the Fat Max, 75mm from wall,
Dewalt, 790mm!

Yep, there's no comparison, the green laser is much better, but you get what you pay for as the saying goes

 

[LM]

I suppose if the two lasers where both at 790mm you wouldn't be able to see the red one

 

[J Sid]

ok I'm convinced, just have to start saving maybe a few weekend need to be done
Thanks Marc
