What kind of radar protection is the Laser Shield designed for?
A. The Laser Shield differs from the Protector, and is designed only for Laser Radar (LIDAR) protection. In simplified terms, laser radar sends out an infrared beam at a wavelength of 904 nm. It is not visible to the naked eye, but is deadly to your car. The laser beam requires a reflective surface on your car to get a good reading. The Laser Shield diffuses the laser beam over the license plate, which is usually the most reflective, perpendicular, and best metallic surface to bounce the laser beam off. Careful, you need to be fast! The Laser Shield only saves you some time and distance on the road. As you approach a laser (LIDAR) gun, other parts of your vehicle will start to provide a bigger area and enough reflection for the radar, to eventually allow a speed reading of your car.
