Fall 2006. Of the best laser jammers
that are currently being sold in the U.S., the most
consistently performing*
laser jammer - compared in several comparison tests - appears to
be the Blinder X-treme laser jammer.
The Blinder X-treme M-20 (2 jammer transponders) and M-40 (4
jammer transponders) laser jammers sell for about $350.00 and $600.00 respectively
and require professional installation into your vehicle (as does
every laser jammer). These models have received top
marks - for several years in a row - from a variety of testing authorities.
Other top rated laser jammers tested include,
the (now discontinued) Beltronics LaserPro 905 ($300);
Escort Shifter ZR3
($500 installed); and Lidatek LE-30 ($400) and Laser ECHO
LE-30D (2 laser jammer transponders) ($600).
Escort and Lidatek laser jammers have also tested well. The
Escort laser jammers provide the advantage of integration into their
radar detector
line. BEL's offering is only currently available as part of the RX-75 Plus - a remote mounted
detector and jammer ($1499).
The Lidatek laser jammer offers diminutive
packaging for your tight installations. Again, as with all laser jammers, prices do not include
installation costs.
In our own laser jammer tests, we have seen laser jammer performance can
vary greatly depending upon the manufacturer and generation level of the
police laser gun.
Earlier generation I and II (LTI 20/20 and Kustom Pro
II) police laser guns - that have been out of production and
service for many years - were easily defeated by even the most rudimentary laser jammers.
The same can not be said for Generation III laser guns which have been
in operation since the early part of this century. The Stalker
LZ1, Laser Technologies LTI Ultralyte 200LRB, Laser Atlanta R/S models have
demonstrated that they are very tough to beat, indeed - the
Stalker laser perhaps being the most difficult to jam.
Laser Atlanta has demonstrated that when their gun is operated
in stealth mode, most jammers are fooled and the officer
is able to get a reading despite their use. Most radar
detectors will also remain silent when confronted
with stealth mode police laser!
This can be especially "dangerous" for your as you may think
your laser jammer will successfully defeat police laser every time
and you may drive somewhat more casually than otherwise.
We don't know how many of LA's are in actual use today
or where, for that matter. We do believe they are not as
popular as either the Stalker LZ-1, Kustom Pro III, or LTI
UltraLyte. Therefore, that actual chances of coming across an
LA gun operating stealth mode is probably slim, but why chance it?
At this time the Kustom Pro III, LTI UltraLyte, and Stalker LZ1
represent the bulk (97%) of the guns currently
utilized in the US. With the recent packaging improvements
(smaller size/lighter) of the revised LA S model, we
would expect their market share to increase.
The Riegl and
Jenoptik/LaserPatrol units will be primarily found in operation
abroad.
The best laser jammers provide multiple jammer transponders to
be located in close proximity to both the front license plate and headlights.
Using only one laser jamming head for the front
or the rear of a vehicle by itself will likely not be as
effective for the same reasons
radar detectors sometimes fail in detecting laser, when
mounted high up on the windshield. If it can see the lidar beam
the laser jammer doesn't trigger. Additionally, one centrally mounted jammer
can't fully obscure the laser reflectivity that comes
from today's large headlight systems - they're simply too far
away.
When paired with laser jammers, VEIL provides you with precious additional reaction time - time you may not otherwise have -
and enables you to avoid speeding tickets.
Independent testing facilities and our engineers have tested
VEIL in conjunction with a variety of laser jammers
and have found that in most cases, VEIL further improves laser jamming
efficiency/performance by
eliminating the major sources of laser reflection - that are
routinely farther away from the laser jammers transponder heads (namely, the
headlights and foglights) - which can cause "long distance
punch-through" (the gun's abilility to obtain a speed
reading at farther distances) as well reduce close-range punch-throughs
that these active electronic laser countermeasures will have. Veil
eliminates the major source of
laser reflectivity, so your laser jammers won't have to work as hard in
overcoming the light signal.
Additionally, in cases where laser jammers fail to fire or partially fail to fire an
effective laser jamming signal, VEIL adds that additional margin of protection required in
these circumstances.
Furtermore, it may be possible to a reduce the number of
jammer transponders on the front and rear of your vehicle since the
headlights/taillights are essentially eliminated as a source of
reflectivity.
More than once, we have witnessed the premature demise of
certain jammers either due to poor workmanship and/or
overheating. Since equipment failure may happen without providing you a warning,
you should check on the reliability and longevity our your
chosen jammer - or staying with one of these top rated models.
One noteworthy jammer test was recently conducted by RadarTest.com**.
When you combine laser jammers with VEIL, you achieve the highest level of laser jamming performance possible.
