BOSCH LR8 Line Laser Receiver - 165 ft Extended Range & Backlit LCD

Meet the Bosch LR8 Line Laser Receiver, a compact companion designed to extend the reach and precision of your laser leveling kit. The oversized receiver is engineered for fast target acquisition, catching beams even midair, and it pairs with a variety of Bosch line lasers to support both indoor layouts and outdoor alignment tasks. The result is a more efficient workflow without sacrificing clarity or reliability.

Extended range that adapts to your tools

When used with compatible models like the GLL3-330C or GLL3-330CG, the LR8 can detect lines up to 165 feet. For the GLL3-300, the range increases to about 150 feet; with the GCL 100-80CG or GCL100-80C and with the GCL2-160, the detectable distance remains strong up to 82 feet in routine setups. For best compatibility, ensure your laser is set to pulse mode.

The result is flexible coverage across different workspaces, from tight indoor rooms to open outdoor patios. The LR8’s larger field of view helps you center lines quickly, while its red and green beam compatibility means you can align with your chosen reference line in various lighting conditions.

Durable, user-friendly design

The LR8 features an IP54 rating, standing up to rain, dust, and general jobsite wear. A backlit LCD display provides easy reading of up/down arrows, center line, and battery status, even when lighting is uneven. The dual-sided LED indicators let you read the signal from either side of the unit, improving versatility on the job.

Controls that adapt to your environment

Adjustable audio signaling lets you tune the alerts to your workspace, reducing the need to constantly monitor the screen in loud environments.
