K40 Laser Defuser
Discreet police laser speeding ticket protection…guaranteed.
Complete Defense Against Police Laser Speeding Tickets.
If you’ve ever seen a police officer parked and outside his vehicle looking at traffic with what looks like a small movie camera or binoculars, you’ve probably just been targeted by LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), also known as laser. Police laser guns are short-range (typically 1000 feet) and pinpoint accurate. If the crosshairs of the laser gun are targeted on your vehicle, and you’re speeding, they’ve got you, pull over, game over.
Unlike police radar, there are no advance warnings for police laser guns. Your only defense is a good offense with K40 Laser Defusers™.
K40 Electronics introduced the first Laser Defuser in 1994 (which started the laser defense industry). We know a thing or two about combatting police laser, including the latest variable pulse rate (VPR) guns used today. We build confidence and reliability into our products so you can drive without limits, knowing you’re protected.
The ultimate in custom-installed laser speeding ticket protection, putting you in control of where and when you choose to combat police laser.

Real Stories From K40 Customers
Patrick Dowling – 4 miles before I saw a state patrol
This is my second K40 radar detector. The first one I purchased in 2001 saved me from a ticket the very first day. I thought it was defective because it alerted me 4 miles before I saw a state patrol. This convinced me how well this product works! It has saved me countless tickets since then. Thanks for making a superior product.

Eric Villamater – Bought a car with a K40 system already installed.
I am sending my review of my experience dealing with Lisa Senger today.
Lisa was extremely receptive to my feedback and knew how to put it into practice. She went the extra mile to show a new customer she cares. In my experience, something that only a veteran would know how to do.
Lastly, Lisa treated this new customer with a high level of respect and showed great concern for managing my expectations. As a result of today’s experience, I will buy a new system for another one of my vehicles.
My Thanks.

Chuck C. – RD950 vs RD850
Just tested my brand new RD950 vs my older RD850. The 950 didn’t false in the 60 mile Interstate 95 test run from North Jacksonville to Georgia. The 850 false alerted 3 times. Later, the 950 went off and the 850 didn’t. A quarter mile further the 950 went off again on Ka band. Still nothing on the 850. A half mile later the 950 is going berserk and the 850 finally comes to life. A mile later I run through the RADAR speed trap at 70mph (the speed limit). I could have slowed down from 90mph with the 850 in time but the extra 30 seconds warning from the 950 was fantastic! What an awesome detector! I’m going to have to get used to how much farther away this detector alerts me. I was going to give the 850 to my wife, but after today I am going to have to get her a 950 as well! Thanks for an amazing product and a special thanks to my K40 consultant Brian for talking me through the purchase.

Great Recommendation
I purchased a dual Defuser g5 kit with the intention of installing it myself with my UN2000 radar system I already had. I talked to Brian about install questions and he convinced me to upgrade to the newest model and recommended Robin for the install. Great advice!!!! Thanks Brian…Also Robin and his helper (son) Rashad were great to work with and did a fantastic job on the install.

Additional Option
Already in love with your current radar detector? K40 Laser Defusers can be installed on any vehicle with a stand-alone kit containing an LED and warning buzzer, giving you police laser protection you can’t get from a radar detector alone.
Radar System Compatibility
K40 Laser Defusers integrate with all K40 custom-installed radar systems. You receive alerts for radar and laser threats from the alert (LED(s) and a hidden speaker. You can control all of the Laser Defuser programmability and functions with the onboard buttons or optional remote control.
K40 Laser Defuser Optix can be plugged into your K40 Platinum100 Portable radar and laser detector to receive alerts via the Platinum100 speaker and screen. You can control all of the Laser Defuser programmability and functions with the onboard buttons or optional remote control.
Ultra-Compact Design for Discreet Placement
The Laser Defuser Optix has a compact design that allows for a custom and discreet installation giving you protection from laser speeding tickets while blending seamlessly into your vehicle’s body style.
Updatable to Ensure Optimum Performance
The Laser Defuser Optix interface features a USB port to update the systems software as new police LIDAR technology emerges. Your vehicle is protected now and into the future.
Maximum Coverage Protection
The interface can fire up to five laser Defuser transponders simultaneously, giving you maximum detection and laser jamming to combat all North American police laser guns, including the latest VPR (Various Pulse Rate) LIDAR guns.
Three User-Selectable Transmit Modes
- Constant Transmit: (Default Setting) For as long as it’s receiving a police laser gun signal, the Laser Defuser Optix transponder will continuously transmit back to the gun. For aggressive drivers in areas where there are no restrictions on the use of laser jammers.
- Pulse Transmit: Upon receiving a police laser gun signal, the Laser Defuser Optix transponder will transmit an “error” signal back to the gun for up to five seconds. The system will then switch to “Receive Only” mode for 30 seconds. Use this setting if you typically drive in an area with restrictions on the use of laser jammers.
- Receive Only: The Laser Defuser will only detect police laser. No jamming signal will be emitted. Use this setting if you only wish to be alerted when a police laser gun is targeting you.
- Operating Wavelength – 905 nanometers
- Power Requirements – 11.5 – 16.0 Volts DC negative ground
- Diode Type – Pulsed Nanostack™ technology laser with epitaxially stacked emitters

In the rare event you should receive a speeding ticket in the first 12 months of ownership, we’ll pay any and all fines (excludes attorney fees and/or insurance premium increases as well as tickets issued in school zones, construction zones, and/or when DUI or DWI is involved). No questions asked.
LIDAR stands for “light detection and ranging.” A LIDAR/LASER gun transmits a pulsed rate of light at an object, the object reflects the pulsed light, and the instrument analyzes the speed of the reflection. Through this analysis, the speed and distance of the object can be determined. At typical target ranges of 800-1000 feet, a police laser gun beam measures between 18″ and 36″ in diameter. This narrow, infrared, monochromatic, one milliradian laser emission does not scatter like a police radar signal, so there is no advance warning to police laser use.
Laser Defusers detect the laser light signal transmitted by a police laser gun and notify drivers with a unique audible and visual alert hidden discreetly inside the vehicle’s interior. Simultaneously, the Laser Defusers transmit a return light beam at the same frequency as the police laser gun so the police cannot get a speed reading.
Laser guns are capable of measuring a vehicle’s speed in less than one second. By the time a laser detector alarms, it is already too late. Only laser jamming countermeasures like Laser Defusers can provide drivers with the time needed to react and safely reduce their speed to avoid a costly ticket.
K40 recommends three Laser Defusers be installed on the front of every vehicle. For optimum placement for your specific vehicle, you should consult with your installing dealer and/or call us at 800-323-5608. In all mounting locations, front or rear, Laser Defusers should be mounted parallel to the ground (not pointing up, down, or to the side) with a clear, unobstructed view of the road for maximum effectiveness.
Yes. The Laser Defuser systems are designed to detect and deactivate police laser signals only. Therefore, we recommend complementing a Laser Defuser system with any K40 Electronics portable/window mount or custom-installed radar detector to create a complete police radar and laser countermeasure solution.
Yes. K40 Laser Defusers have been designed to allow integration with preexisting K40 remote radar detection systems. This integration eliminates installing an extra warning light or speaker to receive alerts from the Laser Defusers.
Since the Laser Defusers emit an infrared light beam that does not interfere with radio waves or any devices regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), there are no federal laws banning the use of laser jammers. Some states do restrict the use of laser jammers, so K40 recommends checking your state statutes for specific information.
Beam Divergence refers to the diameter of the laser beam as it travels. Just like the beam from a flashlight, if you hold it against a wall the beam is small. As you back away from the wall the beam gets bigger. Police laser guns work the same way. At the typical targeting distance of 1000 feet, the beam hitting the front of your vehicle could be 15-30 inches in diameter. The closer you get to the police laser gun, the smaller the beam of light hitting your car becomes.
Unlike radar, laser guns give no advance warning. If you are targeted while speeding and you do not have a Laser Defuser (jammer), you will receive a speeding ticket. Laser is very short-range. Laser gun ranges vary from approximately 800-2000 feet. An officer cannot be moving/driving while shooting laser, and laser cannot read through glass. Laser can target and acquire a speed on a specific vehicle in a pack of cars. Radar is a radio frequency that leaves the gun and spreads out over a great distance. This is why radar detectors can pick up police radar from distances up to 10 miles away. Officers can drive and obtain radar speed readings on vehicles while they are in motion.
