The LEGENDARY Lidatek LE-10 (as never seen before) !

[RedRocket]

There have been several other IR videos made of this famous brute from back in the day. All that I've ever viewed were done indoors in a darkened room which tended to overwhelm the cameras ability to handle such a brilliant light source. I'll include one of those below from back then, it's a 10min video of multiple jammers made by a well known CM enthusiast ("fatchick1o9")- the man himself who worked for Synrad,LLC the company that produced the LE-10. I'll also include a link to an article he wrote on RD.net back in July 2010.

This IR video of mine is the result of pure luck & opportunity. Luck b/c the LE-10 is very rare & even rarer to encounter one still in use. Opportunity b/c both enthusiasts contacted me for Testing of their installs. They had heard I owned Lidar guns in common use then (LaserAtlanta w/ Stealth mode, Stalker LZ-1 & an LR B). Plus they were willing to meet me half-way driving up to Northern Conn. from NYC which is where I met them. I made the video before Testing as a caution. I didn't know how much it had been use since installed & I didn't want to take the risk it might fail during Testing. The Laser Diode in the LE-10 was overdriven above its normal operating parameters, that was one of the reasons it had the limited firing time of 5sec...otherwise it probably would have overheated & burned out.

I have some pix of fatchick's old Jalepeno Red Ford Mustang before he went all Mad Max road warrior crazy & painted (for stealth) it all flat black as his Death Rider,...but I can't find them or worse I may have deleted 'em. If any one sees this & has a copy, please add them to this Thread.

* I wish to pass along a big Thank You to member "bairice" for his assistance & broadband bandwidth which made uploading so fast & also his skills in adding Text & LP cover to the video to protect the innocent.



p.s. - I just noticed watching the video that the white rectangular box obscuring the BMW SUV LP is also partially (~30 %) blocking some of the LE-10 diode output IR.
