LM130HV
One laser. Two planes. Where the LM110H gives you horizontal only, the LM130HV adds a full vertical plane — every site task, one instrument.

Horizontal + Vertical.
One Setup.
Every Job.
The LM130HV is the versatile core of the David White LM Series — designed for professionals who demand accuracy, reliability, and performance. Where the LM110H gives you horizontal only, the LM130HV adds a full vertical plane with the same 2000-foot range and ±1/8″ accuracy, plus five sweep modes and three rotation speeds.
Five scanning modes let you restrict the beam to exactly the sector you need — a tight 10° fan for close indoor reference or a full 360° sweep across a large site with the LD 320 detector at range. Three speeds (0, 300, 600 RPM) match the tool to the task.
The anti-drift alert system detects disturbances and warns you before a bad measurement gets into your pour or layout. IP65 weatherproofing runs in rain, dust, and concrete mist.
The LM130HV red beam is the right choice for outdoor work — open sites, grade work, earthwork, tilt-up layout, and any application where a detector is doing the reading. Red beam performs reliably at 2000-ft range with the included LD 320 detector. For interior use in well-lit environments, the green beam LM130HVG is the better fit.
Six Reasons to Choose
the LM130HV
Every feature on the LM130HV is there to let one person handle more layout, more planes, and more range without extra instruments.
Five Sweep Modes.
One for Every Situation.
Restrict the beam to exactly the sector you’re working in. Less sweep = less interference, longer battery, and a cleaner signal for adjacent crews.
Rotation Speed Guide
| Speed | RPM | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Stop | 0 RPM | Fixed reference dot, point transfer |
| Slow | 300 RPM | Close indoor work, visible beam use, framing |
| Fast | 600 RPM | Long-range detector work, grade shots, large site |
The Second Plane
Opens Every Job
The vertical plane opens up an entire category of jobs that a horizontal-only laser can’t handle. Here’s where the LM130HV proves its worth.
Where LM130HV Fits
The LM130HV adds the vertical plane over the LM110H at the same range and accuracy. The LM130HVG adds green beam and Auto-Alignment on top.

Included: LD 320 Laser Detector
The LM130HV ships with the upgraded LD 320 detector — a step above the LD 120 that comes with the entry-level LM110H. The LD 320 handles the full 2000-foot working diameter of the LM130HV across both horizontal AND vertical planes.
Whether your crew is shooting horizontal grade across a 2000-foot site or reading vertical plumb at a tilt-up panel, the LD 320 locks onto the beam and tells them precisely where they are. Audio beep, LCD display, clamps to a rod, works in direct sunlight. The kind of detector that keeps a crew moving without confusion.
WHY IT MATTERS
The LD 320 is not just included — it's the reason the LM130HV works at 2000 feet. Without it, your beam is a light. With it, it's a precision reference.
Calibrated for red beam (635-650nm). Works with both horizontal and vertical planes of the LM130HV. Pair with the RC10HV remote to control the laser from the detector position — no walking back.
