The difference Between the Spectra Precision HV and the LL


Sometimes when I go onto my company’s website my head spins from looking at all the lasers we have posted on it. I have a hard time differentiating between which laser does what and where, and what the laser limits are or even its durability. So I decided that I would take two very popular Spectra Laser series and see if I can explain the difference between the two clearly.
Spectra Precision HV Horizontal and Vertical Laser
The automatic, self-leveling Spectra HV Series Laser is a professional and economical tool with exceptional versatility and visibility. The HV Series laser is capable of handling a wide variety of horizontal, vertical and plumb applications. The HV Series are advanced lasers with exceptional accuracy and durability for general construction projects.
Replace the conventional method of string lines and optical instruments—the HV Series gives you an easy setup and one-person operation in a wide variety of commercial applications to increase accuracy and boost your productivity. The Split beam enables plumb point transfer and 90-degree layout and is easily visible even in brightly lit conditions.
The Spectra HV Level Series are rugged enough for the toughest jobsite and are designed to survive a 3 foot (1 m) drop onto concrete. The remote control offers scanning, speed control, slope setting, and alignment control for fast one person setups. It even has an out of level warning!
Applications: Cut and fill measurements, Layout and excavation lines , Positioning of concrete forms/"pinning" footers, Layout of construction control lines on concrete pad for subcontractor use, Elevation control over large jobsites, Slopes on grade, Interior and exterior commercial and residential construction, Leveling and aligning, Installation of ceilings and raised floors and walls, and Interior squaring/layout/vertical alignment/leveling.

Spectra LL Horizontal Laser Level Series: A leveling crew in a case
The Spectra LL Horizontal Laser Level Series is simple to use and makes one-person leveling as easy as possible to put you in control of your elevations. The Spectra Precision LL Series is rugged enough to survive drops of up to 1 meter (3 feet) onto concrete and can be tipped on a tripod up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) and keep working. This strength combined with full weather and dust proofing, results in reduced downtime and lower repair costs over the life of the product.
The LL’s self-leveling capability results in outstanding accuracy and ease of use. Since the LL Series levels itself when turned on, setting up is easy with just one button press. The optional remote control gives you the option of controlling the unit from the rod position when doing slope matching. It also offers single-axis slope mode with self-leveling in the cross axis, providing more accurate grade measurements
The fully automatic, self-leveling Spectra Precision Laser LL Series Laser Level sets a new standard in rugged reliability, handling a wide variety of general and concrete construction applications. Even in tough jobsite conditions, the LL Series consistently delivers reliable, accurate performance to increase your overall productivity and cost-savings. The LL series has an out-of- level warning which eliminates faulty readings. It also has a single-axis slope mode offers fast setup and grade match to a reference mark for permanent and accurate ceiling slope reference.
Applications: Checking/setting elevations, concrete forms, footings, and foundations for smaller job sites, Patio decks, terraces, swimming pools and septic systems and leach fields, driveway and ramps and slopes, Estimating cut and fill , Excavating and digging.
