K40 LASER DEFUSER G5 REVIEW LAB STYLE AND ROAD TESTS. RESULTS: ASADVERTISED!
January 2014 Review. A
little history before getting to the fun stuff.
Another generation of the well known Defuser brand has made it to the market. Since 1996, K40 has beendeveloping infrared speed detection inhibiting 'plate frames.' The jamming techniques have changed over theyears(Brute/white noise to pulse match), but the customer service has always stayed the same. Top Notch.
The speeding ticket guarantee has been around since '96 and remains the same
today for 2014. If you get a laser ticket using their product, K40 will pay for your ticket. Blinder USA used to have thissame guarantee but they have since dropped it from the website. K40 stands alone with the only ticket guarantee. Theoriginal Laser Defuser used a brute force method that was limited to the hardware specs of the LED's back in that techera. Unfortunately the older models no longer work against today's modern LIDAR guns like the DragonEye Compact,however K40 has continuously kept up with the times by releasing new hardware and firmware to keep up with new
threats. LED technology has changed greatly over the years, one being that LED's are now made to 905nmspecification. Back in the first models, LED's were fired in the 870nm range to bleed into the 904/905nm range. Spectral emission is thus more accurate and powerful today.
Hardware Now let's take a look at the new K40 Laser Defuser G5. This new model has a pentamerous multianglefish eye photo cluster lens. The new cluster will give each transponder an 18" detection radius. This means that youshould mount the transponders within eighteen inches of the most reflective parts of your car(license plate andheadlights.) Once LIDAR is detected from the police officer, the custom decagona LED array fires as long as theinfrared beam pulse train is detected.
WOW Factor Firmware of the K40 G5 Laser Defuser has been updated a couple times. Engineers were made aware ofthe Truspeed S pulse rate and quickly came out with a firmware update in less than 1 month after obtaining the gun. Thisis absolutely incredible since Escort Inc. never came out with a Truspeed S jam algo for their comparable Laser ShifterZR4 model. What's absolutely stunning about this model is it's currently the only laser jammer to date to detect ALL ofthe USA IACP approved LIDAR guns. The Laser Interceptor does not detect the DragonEye Compact ECCM mode andthe ZR4 does not detect the Truspeed S or give any type of effective counter IR pulse to combat the gun. This is why theG5 quickly jumped up to being a toptier performing jammer and is recommended by LaserJammerTests.com. *It'simportant to note that the DragonEye Compact used in ECCM mode(antijam) is unjammable by any laser jammer on themarket. You can watch all the test videos down the page.
Mounting setup for actual road tests I already knew that the detection radius was 1.5 feet, so it would have beencompletely unfair for me to use only one transponder. The white Mazda Miata used in this test was a tough test becausethe transponders could only be mounted on the license plate. The lower scoop to the sides of the plate were less thanideal because the transponders would be firing toward the ground. The transponders were facing downward toward thestreet by about 7 degrees. All laser jammers should be mounted within 5 degrees. I allowed this slight handicap because Iheard from some people that the wide beam divergence of the LED's wouldn't be as much of a problem as it would be withlaser diode based jammers. They were correct! Even with the less than ideal mounting position and a handicap of 7
degrees, the K40 Laser Defuser G5 performed well! I will retest the unit when the weather warms up.
LTI Truspeed S Test Runs This LIDAR gun uses variable pulse rate technology centered around 4,000 PPS. Thepulse train does show a repeatable pulse pattern unlike the DragonEye Compact ECCM mode that is seemingly randomin nature.
Run #1. Jam to Gun
Run #2. Jam to Gun
Run #3. Jam to Gun
Run #4. Jam to Gun
Run #5. 107.5 Feet
Run #6. 246.7 feet
Run #7. 110.6 feet In the video I said a lower number, but after reviewing the footage I sawthe gun locked at 110.6' first.
Kustom Signals Prolite Plus This laser gun fires at a fixed pulse rate of 200 PPS.
Test Run #1 Jam to Gun
Test Run #2 Jam to gun

Test Run #5 Jam to gun
Test Run #6 194.8 feet
The video below is a lab style test done with an infrared filter to demonstrate the detectionability of the Escort ZR4 Laser Shifter against the K40 G5 Laser Defuser. This is the mostinteresting video I made for these rounds of tests. This video proves that some untrustworthyforum members were making fake videos of the Truspeed S being jammed by the ZR4. This issimply not possible with my findings.
Conclusion:
As advertised! LaserJammerTests.com approves the performance of the K40 G5 Laser Defuserand recognizes the unit sets a new standard in random VPR detection abilities. This unit isconsidered a top tier performer in the industry.
LaserJammerTests does NOT sell this product. The only way to buy a G5 is through the K40Approved Dealer Network.
Thanks for watching!
