Which Rotary Laser Kit to choose?
Mid-Range Vs Premium Lasers?
We sell two main brands. Fukuda as a mid-range (similar to Stanley, Bosch, DeWalt & Hilti) and Spectra as a premium brand (like Topcon & Leica Geosystems). If you would like to see a comparison of our mid-range lasers compared with our premium brand equivalents Click Here.
Red Beam Vs Green Beam
We frequently get asked which is best, Red beam lasers or green? As with all things, it is not so much which is best, but which is right for you?
Although obviously there are exceptions to every rule...
If you are primarily working outdoors (say for example around 95% + of your work) then we always advise customers to buy a red beam laser.
Broadly speaking, green beam lasers are around 3-4 times brighter than red beam lasers, but when you work outside it doesn't matter how bright the beam, what brand you have bought or how much money you have spent, you will always need to use a Detector / Receiver to pickup the beam. Green beam lasers are typically always more expensive because of the cost of the green laser module and so all you will be doing if you buy a green beam laser, is spending significantly more money and only seeing a "slight" improvement as you will still need to pickup the beam with a detector.
You are also limited on the ability to work with machine control detectors (the magnetic ones which mount on plant equipment) if you buy green, so for that reason alone it is again always better to buy red beam lasers.
If you do a mix of indoor and outdoor work (say for example around 50 / 50 - 60 / 40) and don't plan to work with plant equipment, then depending on the budget available, we tend to recommend Green beam lasers.
For the reasons outlined above, there is only a slight advantage using a green beam laser for your outside work. But when you come to your indoor work you want to see a dazzlingly bright beam in order for you to set out. This is where the green beam lasers really come into there own.
It is then justifiable in terms of cost to buy a green beam laser if you do a mix of work.
If you are primarily working indoors (say for example around 95% + of your work) then we always advise customers to buy a green beam laser. Although it is more expensive, this is justified by the brightness of the beam and makes working so much easier.
Finally if you are limited by budget, then it is always better to get a feature packed red beam laser instead of buying a basic green beam laser for the same price.
Fukuda is a fantastic mid-range laser brand which offers a lot of features for your money.
Although it may not be a brand you have immediately heard of (although that is changing as it's popularity grows),
it's lasers and internals can be found in models which are sold under an array of different brand names around the world, including IMEX, PLS, Haupar, Draper, MCE Rotec, Linestorm, Powerline, Lasertec, General, Swiss+Level, TUF, Lamigo, BMI UNILASER, Geotop and CPI.
In the UK, it is sold by Laser Levels Online under the main Fukuda brand name.
As it's popularity increases and is seen on more construction sites, as well as many channel 4 home development shows, it also attracts its fair share of copies and imitation models. Always ensure you purchase direct and beware of cheaper imitations purporting to be Fukuda.

I have worked in the construction industry for over 25 years dealing with hundreds of suppliers, the quality of their products is fantastic, the delivery is next day so you can't complain about that and the customer service is second to none, if you need a leveling tool don't bother going anywhere else.
