1

The End of the "Eyeball Lottery"

Imagine: It's 7:30 PM. You're working in your workshop. And your measuring device... displays clear, green digits. Perfectly readable.

No flashlight. No reading glasses. No frustration when reading the angle display.

The illuminated LCD display makes exactly this possible.

No strain. No squinting. No relying on the barely visible bubble in your spirit level.

93% of Luminis users report: For the first time in years, the measurements can be read without problems even in poorly lit basements. Many work through the entire project without once having to look for their reading glasses.

No more dead batteries – always ready when you need it

No one will tell you this, but here is the truth: Constantly dead batteries not only sabotage your workflow – they destroy precision.

When CR2032 batteries weaken, digital angle gauges start to "drift." The display flickers between 89.7° and 90.3°. You become uncertain.

Then you reach for the analog level. But it doesn’t show exact degrees. You estimate. 42 degrees? 43 degrees? You saw – and the boards don’t fit.

Craftsmen see this all the time: Stress-related miscuts. Expensive material waste. Chronic frustration. And in the worst case – 200 euros worth of walnut as firewood.

No third hand needed anymore – Magnetic base holds firmly

You know that frustrating moment. You need to measure an angle on the saw blade. But you only have two hands.

One hand holds the measuring device. The other... supposed to do what? Stabilize the saw blade? Note the measurement?

84% of Luminis owners report: The measuring device stays in place on its own. You don’t have to hold it. The magnetic base sticks directly to the saw blade, steel beams, any metal surface.

Hands-free working. Both hands free for important tasks.

No slipping. No “Can you hold this for a moment?”

0.1° accuracy – no guessing, no more "should fit"

Have you ever tried to measure a roof slope with a spirit level?

The bubble level is "somewhere between the marks." You guess: 42 degrees? Maybe 43?

You cut 8 boards based on this estimate. And then... gaps. Gaps everywhere.

With 0.1° digital accuracy, guessing is over. The Luminis shows: 42.3°

Not "about 42." But exactly 42.3 degrees.

You set your saw to 42.3°. You cut. The boards fit with millimeter accuracy.

Not by luck. But by precision.

Built for the construction site – Dust & water resistant (IP67)

Most digital tools are delicate. A bit of sawdust or a few raindrops on the terrace and the electronics give out. Not with the Luminis X1.

 

IP54 certified: It is protected against dust deposits and splashing water.

 

Robust housing: It can survive a tough day on the construction site or in a dusty carpentry shop.

 

Durability: It’s not a toy for the desk, but a tool for people who really get things done.

91% of users say: They are no longer afraid to leave the device out in the workshop. It’s tough enough for everyday hard use.

Double laser for perfect alignment – the first time

Hanging pictures. A picture gallery with 9 frames. All should be perfectly straight.

With normal tools: pencil, level, measuring again, eraser, draw again. 30 minutes later the first picture is hanging.

With Lumini's double laser lines: project the laser onto the wall. Align all pictures to the line. Done.

Clean, invisible lines. No pencil marks. No arguments with your partner about whether "this is straight or not."

The laser lines show the perfect horizontal. Objective. Unambiguous.

5-in-1 Tool – replaces half the toolbox

You used to need:

- A digital protractor (for saw settings)
- A spirit level (for horizontal work)
- An inclinometer (for roof slopes)
- A laser level (for alignments)
- Goniometer (for saw blade settings) 

These are 5 separate devices. They all take up space. They all have their own batteries (which, of course, are all dead at the same time).

The Luminis X1 replaces all 5.

One device. One USB cable. One investment.

Protractor? ✓
Spirit level? ✓
Inclinometer? ✓
Laser level? ✓
Goniometer? ✓

All in one device that fits in your pocket.

You now have two options:

 

Option 1: You keep doing what you’ve been doing.
With unreadable displays. Dead batteries. Expensive mistakes. You get frustrated every time a project doesn’t turn out the way you imagined.

Option 2: You invest in a tool that changes your work.
A tool you want to use every day. That relieves your eyes – even in poor lighting conditions. That is always ready to use. That helps you work again with the precision you expect from yourself.
