I'd say I'm 90% sure it was LIDAR, as there seemed to be one officer with an apparatus outside the car, and several other officers pulling people over. The radar detector also came on instantly. Of course there's a chance that I could be mistaken and it was just instant-on radar, so I wouldn't take my anecdote as certainty.
While headlights reduce the range of the LIDAR, perhaps the fact that it is dark and one cannot see as far ahead on the road negates the need for the longer range? Additionally, I suppose most folks don't drive down the interstate with high beams on (which is where I received my ticket). I don't recall how much range the magazine implied LIDAR lost with high beams, but I believe it wasn’t trivial.
This is certainly an interesting issue and one I wish I knew more about.
