Profile: Discount Lasers is an unique online store leveraging proceeds to solely power research and development efforts. Lasers are commonly used in a variety of applications including consumer electronics, information technology, science, medicine, industry, law enforcement, and entertainment. Laser printers have many significant advantages over other types of printers because they are capable of rapidly producing text and graphics on plain paper. Monochrome laser printers are used for printing black-and-white text or graphics. Multifunctional laser printers are used for scanning, copying, or faxing documents. Rangefinders are devices which can help establish the distance of the observer to a target or an object. They come in many shapes and sizes such as large, small, waterproof, digital, and combined with other devices such as binoculars or digital cameras. Rangefinders have different capabilities and performance levels & suit particular uses or sports. Laser diodes are numerically the most common type of laser, widely used in telecommunications, various measuring instruments, in barcode readers, in the printing industry, image scanning, and optical data recording. Laser stud finders can be used with wood or metal. Some stud finders not only mark stud locations, but can detect and identify separate materials behind walls such as rebar, wiring, metal studs & wood studs. Infrared (IR) thermometers are also known as pyrometers and non-contact thermometers. These are used to measure the temperature of things that would be difficult to measure with conventional thermometers. An important feature that is standard in most instruments like these is a laser pointer. This assures that the correct point is measured, particularly with instruments with a large spot ratio.
