Laser Level Glasses

About Laser Level Glasses

Laser level glasses are specialised eyewear designed to enhance the visibility of laser beams used in construction, surveying, and levelling applications. When working outdoors in bright sunlight or over long distances, laser lines can become difficult to see with the naked eye. These glasses feature colour-specific lens technology that filters out ambient light whilst amplifying the laser beam, making it significantly easier to identify and work with precision. Available in red and green lens configurations, they must be matched to your laser level's beam colour for optimal performance.

MyToolShed.co.uk stocks professional-grade laser level glasses from leading brands including Bosch Professional, DeWalt, and Stanley, alongside essential laser levelling accessories such as grade rods and telescopic measuring staffs. These complementary tools work together to achieve accurate measurements and level readings across construction sites, making them indispensable for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts undertaking levelling projects.

Applications

Laser level glasses are essential equipment for a wide range of construction and surveying professionals:

• Site Engineers and Surveyors: Establishing precise levels across construction sites and conducting topographical surveys
• Groundworkers and Landscapers: Setting drainage gradients, levelling patios, and establishing ground levels for foundations
• Bricklayers and Blocklayers: Maintaining consistent course heights and ensuring walls are perfectly level
• Builders and General Contractors: All types of levelling work, from foundations to suspended ceilings
• Shopfitters and Ceiling Fixers: Installing level tracks, battens, and suspended ceiling grids
• Tilers and Flooring Specialists: Checking floor levels and establishing datum lines for tiling projects
• Plumbers and Heating Engineers: Setting gradients for drainage and waste pipes
• Carpenters and Joiners: Levelling door frames, worktops, and installing fitted furniture

Choosing The Right Laser Level Glasses

Laser Colour Compatibility: This is the most critical factor. Green laser glasses will not work with red lasers and vice versa. Check your laser level's beam colour specification before purchasing. Green lasers operating at 532nm wavelength are increasingly popular for outdoor work due to superior visibility.

Optical Quality: Professional-grade glasses from manufacturers stocked at MyToolShed.co.uk offer superior lens clarity, multi-layer coatings, and distortion-free optics. Investing in quality eyewear reduces eye strain during extended use and provides better laser enhancement in challenging lighting conditions.

Comfort and Durability: For all-day wear, look for lightweight frames with adjustable features and rubber nose pieces. Site work demands scratch-resistant coatings, impact-resistant lenses meeting EN166 standards, and sturdy frames. Many professional models include protective carrying cases to prevent damage during transport.

UV Protection: When working outdoors, integrated UV protection safeguards your eyes from harmful rays whilst you're focusing on the laser beam, making quality laser glasses a worthwhile investment for long-term eye health.

Safety Information

Laser level glasses enhance visibility of laser beams but are not classified as laser safety glasses designed to protect against direct laser exposure. Never look directly into a laser beam, even when wearing these glasses. Store your glasses in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratching, and clean lenses only with appropriate lens cleaning solutions and microfibre cloths. Be aware that tinted glasses reduce overall light transmission, which may affect depth perception—exercise additional caution when working at height or around site hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use green laser glasses with a red laser level?

No, laser glasses must match your laser colour. Green glasses are designed to enhance 532nm green laser beams and will not improve visibility of red lasers (635-650nm). Using mismatched glasses will actually make the laser harder to see.

Do laser level glasses provide UV protection?

Most professional-grade laser glasses from brands like Bosch Professional, DeWalt, and Stanley include UV protection as standard, making them suitable for extended outdoor use. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to confirm this feature.

Can I wear laser level glasses over my prescription glasses?

Some models feature larger frames designed to accommodate prescription eyewear underneath. Check product specifications for "over-glasses" or "OTG" compatibility when selecting your laser glasses.
