What you are probably looking for is an auto-leveling rotary laser. CST Berger, David White, and Dewalt are a few manufacturers of them. There are others out there, but the prices will vary widely depending on features and function.

A lot of CST berger products can be found at HD, Lowes, and other places like that.

look for one with an accuracy of at least 1/4" in 100' many of them out there only have a accuracy of 1/2 in 30' cost will very from about $35 - $250 for one in the 1/4 in 100' range

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get one that has a molded plastic body and is lightweight. This will allow you to fasten the level to the wall using gum tack or sticky tabs and get the light where you need it. Also, compare the luminescence (brightness rating) of the laser.

A spirit level is a glass tube not quite filled with liquid. When it is horizontal, the bubble of air lies between 2 scratched marks, the width of the bubble, on the glass tube.

Basically you should go for German makes. It's expensive.
As with everything else in this world you get what you pay for.
The cheaper you buy it the poorer the quality.
The Germans are known for their excellent engineering.
