^ Something isn't quite right about those M45 videos, on the one with the 300C, it's clear that the bottom two heads were of a different size from the top - current M45s have heads which are the same, for all four.
If that was a previous iteration of the M45, I think that the time is right to bring forward a renewed video, with the current product.
[ *Alternatively, it would be wise to simply wait until the next round of GOL tests, which should incorporate testing of the new production Blinders. ]
Additionally, whomever the principles are behind that video need to step out, and declare their stance as well as any potential conflict-of-interest.
Still, given the data from RacerX's tests of the -5 suffix product, I remain fairly pessimistic about its performance on larger vehicles. Nevertheless, along with this is the balance from stegall1000's videos, which, even given their retail/commercial nature (which was openly disclosed), it is apparent, when combined with Delonix's data (which also see open declaration of their commercial nature, but here, even more so than the videos from stegall1000, it should be noted that Delonix is also a retailer of the LI and AL products, and have modified their testing procedure according to hobbyist feedback - thus making for a more impartial testing scenario [which, even though it still remains less-than-perfect, is, nonetheless, a rather good set of base-data from which to draw further conclusions/inferences]), that smaller vehicles, particularly those with some measure of passive protection, may receive more than acceptable protection from the Blinders.
Regardless, the truth of the matter is that in terms of rear protection, even the use of two heads of today's top-flight diode-based jammers offer only "reasonable" protection, and is much less than a "JFG guaranty," which is truly *necessary* in terms of rear protection and its typically seen enforcement scenarios.
To expect that two LED-based heads will be able to protect, even a small vehicle, is, IMveryHO, near wishful and magical thinking, and may lead you to a false sense of protection/safety - which will result in a hefty ticket.
