Sola X2 GREEN Cross Line Laser Level, 71014001, Green Beam

Sola X2 GREEN (article number 71014001) is a cross line laser level with a green beam, projecting one horizontal and one vertical line at an opening angle of up to 170°. Accuracy is ±0.20 mm/m, working range without a receiver is 30 m radius, and with a handheld receiver it reaches 80 m. The instrument is made by Sola in Austria.

Why green rather than red

The human eye is most sensitive around 550 nm. A green laser works at 510–530 nm and is perceived several times brighter than a red laser of the same output power. The practical difference shows up exactly where you need it: in a bright room, near a window, on dark or rough surfaces and at longer distances. One important point – the X2 GREEN uses true green diodes rather than a red diode with a frequency converter. Diode lasers light up instantly, work reliably in the cold and do not lose output as they warm up, unlike converter-based designs.

Self-levelling within ±3°

The instrument levels itself automatically within ±3° – enough to compensate for an uneven floor or a tilted stand without fighting adjustment screws. Beyond that range the pendulum reaches its stop and the laser warns you rather than showing a sloping line as though it were level. That matters: the dangerous failure with a laser level is not inaccuracy but an apparently correct line that is not actually level.

Levelling-off mode

Self-levelling can be switched off, at which point the tool projects lines at any angle you set. That is what you need when marking out a slope – a ramp, terrace drainage, a stair handrail, a raked ceiling. The two lines switch on and off independently, so you can work with the horizontal alone or the vertical alone, saving battery and removing the distraction of the second line.

IP54 protection and site use

The housing is rated IP54 – protected against dust and against water splashed from any direction – with rubber protectors along the edges to absorb a fall from a bench or ladder. The operating temperature range is −10 °C to +50 °C, so the tool remains usable through winter in an unheated building. Power comes from 4 AA batteries, which is a genuine practical advantage over a lithium pack: spares are available anywhere, and a level is rarely used intensively enough to justify a rechargeable system.

Typical applications

A cross line laser is the core tool for interior finishing work: transferring a datum line around a room, installing suspended ceilings and plasterboard partitions, tiling walls and floors, fitting kitchen units, hanging frames and light fittings, and setting doors and windows. A horizontal line with a 170° opening covers nearly an entire wall from one position.

What is in the box

Article 71014001 is supplied with a protective bag and batteries. That is the difference from the X2 GREEN PROFESSIONAL (71014101), which comes with a hard carrying case and a magnetic wall bracket. The instrument itself is identical in both versions.
