Looking for a laser that I can set up to shoot a line across a ceiling as a guide for mounting conduit or strip fixtures...

Most lasers are levels for vertical or horizontal,
I'm sure something exists for what I'm looking for...
Looking for recommendations.

Thanks!

I use a tripod for cameras and tilt the head 90 degrees so the line is on the ceiling when a laser level is mounted on it.

I use the Dewalt DW089K.

https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW089K-Self-Leveling-3-Beam-Laser/dp/B005OH6IPA

It shoots a red line. If i were to buy again i would look into the green line, but the price really jumps.

Just google line lasers and a bunch will pop up

i use the craftsman rotary for lots of things. the one i have is bubble levels though, not a self leveling head. it can go on a flat surface or be mounted to a std 1/4-20 tripod.

i do not use it to laser the exact line needed, i usually just set it up in comfortable location, level it out, then just use the line as a reference to measure up or down to the location needed, etc.
