White is the best reflective color as it reflects all colors while black absorbs all colors. A black Firebird with no front license plate is almost impossible to target with a police laser gun. There are no reflective surfaces and the car's black color absorbs laser emissions. A white car is best color for laser guns. All of SML's field tests use white vehicles as the color represents he " worst case" situation for countermeasures trying to cloak not only the laser's reflected signal but also to defeat white car's reflective characteristics.

HELLO!!!!

The laser only needs a perpendicular surface to bounce off. That's why the license plate area is targeted. The laser light will bounce off the surface regardless of color. It's not the same wavelength of light that you assume is in the radiant spectrum. It will bounce off - period. Where it bounces is related to the solid surface it strikes.

Edit: The diffusers scatter the beam. The other units, to which you refer, respond (within milliseconds) to the detection of laser and return a pulse that does not correspond to the same originating pulse.

There was a time (back in the late 70's) when the Lotus Esprit or Elan (can't remember which one) was the hardest vehicle to detect by RADAR because the leading edge surface area was so small. Radar could only detect the car when it was within 100 feet or so - very impressive! But that was during the old radar wars when they first began duking it out in the auto industry. As it has been proven through the decades, both sides of the law continue to try to out do each other.

Well, if you get it installed, you'll have to let us know how the install went and then give us your impressions on the road.
