Blinder Laserjammer

I've been thinking about getting a laser jammer. I've done a lot of research and believe this one is the best. Does anyone have or know someone with the Blinder M-10/UK TWIN?? See the article below.

The BLINDER LASERJAMMER is high quality product manufactured in aluminium, easy to mount and easily serviced and Costs £289.95 This twin transmitter, twin detector combined unit comes standard with two IR. diode arrays and a laser detector in each IR. head. A miniature buzzer supplied can be installed inside the vehicle, and provides the audible alarm each time one of the detector heads are hit by the laser beam of a police laser gun.

They claim that the unit offers:

Complete protection against all laserguns and fotolaser traps. The IR. Detectors transmit the incoming laser pulse frequency to the computer. The computer calculates the optimal jamming pulse (APS) for the eight specially manufactured IR. jamming LED's in each head.
Automatic pulse selection for the optimal infrared jamming shield and because the jamming pulse only is transmitted in a fraction of a second, it has become possible to apply an extremely powerful returning jamming pulse signal.
Detection of the laser gun and Laser Warning Alert. The laser warning system (LWS) tells the driver, that a lasergun is operating near him.
Included the Laser Jammer kit
Twin Laser Jammer units: Cabin equipment:
Two infrared laser detectors, one in each head.
Eight infrared laser Jamming LED's, in each head.
Microprocessor with self test function.
Intelligent software.
Waterproof aluminium housing.
UV lens in front of the LED's.
On/off Bottom.
Warning alert sound system.
Complete wire harness system.
Install manual with Online Internet Help.
Registration card.
1 year warranty.





So did it work...... ?


With our boot load of Laser guns, don't ask, it not easy buying this stuff, we had to tell a few lies and spend quite a few quid, but it is possible to own your own speed detection gun.

Off to a nice quiet straight road, after all we did not want to attract too much attention, did we? We did the test by using the four main Laser Guns used in the UK, the LTI 20-20, Riegl LR 90, UltraLite LR and Prolaser II

We then drove our test car towards the guns in turn doing several runs, we targeted the numberplate and as many other parts of the cars as possible at ranges of over half a mile, so far in fact it was hard to spot the car in the sights of the guns.

All the guns had a real problem they all showed errors, the LTI went through almost all the errors it could find, none could get a speed and only some could get a distance, even at 20ft the guns could not get a speed reading, not only that, but it DID NOT bring up the LTI's Jammer indicator. Now that's very smart!


I was impressed, very impressed, I have tested other jammers and they never worked or if they did it was only on some of the readings they managed to jam the guns. The Blinder however did what they said it would do. It's a well made piece of kit, it looks good, and is made in a tough aluminium case, it came over as a high quality product, unlike the others.

So what's like in the car, well is gets rather noisy with it's warning system going, you get plenty of time to slow down at your own speed to the legal limit and then turn off the system as you continue to drive towards that rather confused copper... you could even give him time to get a speed reading of your car at the legal limit after the jammer is switched off to remove some of the suspicion.

The twin heads in this case were mounted in the grill and were not easy to spot without knowing what you were looking for.





Can we recommend it, Well..... YES, we can. It works well.

How much? 289.95 pounds or dollars? If it's pounds then that would be almost 500 bucks. Seems like a lot.

Who wrote that review? Unless it was Car & Driver magazine, I wouldn't put much faith in it. I'd also like to know how this thing is supposed to work, since most cops target your car's license plate or headlights with the laser to get a reading.

Also be aware that one problem with jammers is that cops are wise to them. If a copy starts getting wacky readings while targeting your car, odds are quite good you'll be pulled over and your $300 jammer may be confiscated.

most of the highway patrols ive seen still use the old fashioned x-k band style and some just pace you or do a visual ....best thing to do is proceed with caution in un known territories.

BTW... I saw a tape of a bunch of radar and lazer jammers and detectors. They tested about 5 jammers and only two worked... THIS ONE and another unit (can't remember the name) that went for about $600 and only did radar. The Blinder does work, but if you get caught with it.... a ticket is the least of your worries....

Does the Blinder come with some type of an Alarm? Also, has anyone tried those license plate covers to deflect laser. I would assume it would hit the plate, set off my v1 and before he reshots I could slow down a bit.

Really? In the 3 years I've been in FL I never had a Laser encounter. I did not think FL used Laser. Thanks for the heads up.
Also can your contact give me a deal on one?

Thanks

Thanks,
Gee I only work up the block from them I live in Pompano, but work in Boca. Funny I work at glades/turnpike, & drive all the roads you mentioned & never had a laser warning on my 8500, or V1.

The Blinder (and other more expensive units like it) works very well in jamming lidar. The gun can usually still acquire a range, but speed measurement is iffy at best. Note the contrast from radar jammers. 99.9% of the radar jammers out there don't work at all, and those that do cost $$$$ and are very rare (and very illegal).

Lidar jammers like the Blinder aren't illegal in any state as far as turning them on and emitting infrared energy goes. See, radar jammers are illegal in every state because a radar jammer is a radio transmitter, and the FCC licenses all radio transmitters. And the FCC won't license a jammer, so if you use one you're in violation of FCC regulations, and as a federal offense it carries some very stiff penalties.

Now lidar jammers, on the other hand, emit infrared light just like your TV remote does. Since you are transmitting light, not radio waves, the FCC has no jurisdiction over them, and there is *no* governmental regulation body that does have jurisdiction over the transmission of light energy (never could be--way too many sources of light to regulate).

However, some states have skirted this loophole with their own loophole that reads something to the effect of "you shall not use any device that shall interfere with or render inoperative any type of law enforcement speed measuring device." So this covers both radar and lidar (and anything down the road that has yet to be invented). Not many states have wised up to this yet (just some out West--and of course VA, which makes everything illegal from the get-go), but I'm sure it won't be long before they do.

FYI, lidar jammers are perfectly legal here in MA (for now).

It was evaluated by speedlabs, I would trust their opinion, they do some pretty good testing. I was looking at that too...get it and let me know how it works.!
