Spent $400 on a laser level for a big tile job and it turned into a disco

I was setting up for a herringbone pattern in a sunroom, and the client's kid had one of those spinning disco ball nightlights. The laser kept picking up the little spinning dots and throwing lines everywhere like a party. Had to shut the door and tape a towel over the bottom gap just to get a straight line. Anyone ever have their tools get confused by something totally random like that?

Honestly that sounds like a cheap laser, my DeWalt never gets fooled by disco lights.

Wait, do disco lights mess with the laser's level or the distance finder?

Totally agree, cheap lasers are the worst for that. My buddy's off-brand one went nuts at a kids party last week. What do you even do when it starts dancing to the strobe lights?
