Green laser lines for maximum visibility indoors: Bosch is expanding its cross line laser range for DIY enthusiasts with a new Quigo model featuring green laser diodes, the Quigo Green. The advantage for the user: Green laser lines are up to four times more visible to the human eye than red laser lines. That makes the Quigo Green's laser lines easy to see also in bright environments, for example near a window facade. In addition, the Quigo Green now provides precise results in a working range of 12 meters – and therefore offers an even wider variety of applications: Correctly positioning curtain rods, leveling kitchen and bathroom cabinets, decorating walls with tiles or patterned wallpaper – with the Quigo Green, do-it-yourselfers can align objects quickly and precisely with an accuracy of ± 0.8 millimeters per meter. The Quigo Green also sets itself apart from previous models with its new design: The handy cube now comes in black with a decorative light-green frame.

Instantly ready to use, easy and intuitive to operate

Of course the Quigo Green still features the proven single-button operation: Just open the protective cover and two intersecting laser lines project an angle of exactly 90 degrees onto the wall. The Quigo Green automatically compensates for irregularities of up to four degrees and signals any deviations from this with a flashing laser line. This is, for example, the case when do-it-yourselfers use the tilt function to align diagonal patterns, lines or railings. If the protective cover is closed, the device switches off immediately and the internal pendulum is stopped ready for transport.

Flexible positioning for a wide range of applications

The universal clamp is included with the Quigo Green as standard, and it allows the device to be easily fixed to table tops, ladders, shelves or even stair railings. This is made particularly easy by the adapter plate, which also features fine adjustment in a range of ± 2 centimeters, making it unnecessary to frequently readjust the universal clamp. The adapter plate can be fixed to the top, bottom or rear of the Quigo Green, providing do-it-yourselfers even more flexibility: It could be positioned directly beneath the ceiling, for instance, for marking out a border. Furthermore, the adapter plate can also be attached to a standard tripod with a ¼-inch thread.

The Quigo Green is available from April 2019. All prices are recommended retail prices including VAT.
