“Bosch’s GCL 2-15 G Combi laser represents the latest technological development in laser levels,” comments brand manager Sebastian Johannes.

While traditional laser levels deploy a red laser diode or green laser conversion procedure, the latest Combi laser from Bosch uses a green laser diode directly. The advantages of the latest green laser lines over the red ones are not only reduced power consumption and hence longer battery life, but also reduced heat generation (increases the lifetime) and thus a lower operating temperature for extended work periods.

Green laser light is 100% visible to the human eye, as opposed to only 24% for traditional red laser light. This translates into a longer working distance without a receiver, which makes the GLC 2-15 G perfect for drywall and suspended-ceiling applications.

“A laser beam that is four times brighter not only makes the work at hand faster and more effective, but it also facilitates on-site problem solving,” explains Johannes. “The GCL 2-15 G also allows for faster positioning of laser lines, which renders the entire process less time consuming and cumbersome.”

The instrument also features red ‘up’ and ‘down’ plumb points for plumbing applications under 3 m, while a highly visible green laser cross marks for fast horizontal and vertical levelling tasks. Extended ceiling applications are made that much easier due to the long overshoot of vertical lines.

In addition, each laser line can be switched on and off separately, while the tool also allows convenient and easy alignment of laser lines around the plumb point. A reference point can be transferred precisely from the floor to the ceiling, while a vertical laser line of almost 360° is also possible.

Additional features include high flexibility thanks to the RM 1 rotating mount for floors, walls and ceilings. Versatile mounting is enhanced further by strong magnets on the back of the rotating mount. The tool also has an incline function with LED indicator, and robust housing with IP54 protection. Safe transportation and slope stability are ensured with the handy pendulum lock function.
