| Defensive Equipment Tests. This Page covers equipment that I have been sent and with the help of a few friends (inc. Police) we put under test, and we will give you our views on the products, not the salesman's views. Not all manufactures of equipment want us to test their equipment, wonder why...? So all not all the equipment on the market may be tested. If you have any equipment you have bought and you want to send us your views on how well it works or doesn't for that, let us know.

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 number plate 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 be seen just to the left and right of the lights
in the bumper. This is the recommended position for the heads,
half way
between the number plate and the outer lights.
The Picture Results
