Coyote Light's own figures for every color it sells for this light (you pick one). The distance column keeps the maker's words, because makers define distance differently.
| Color | Maker's distance claim | Runtime | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red | 800 yd (732 m) Eye shine: "Light up predator's eyes at up to 800 yards"500 yd (457 m) Identification: "Full-body identification at up to 500 yards with good optics" | 4 h Full intensity | |||
| Green | 800 yd (732 m) Eye shine: "Light up predator's eyes at up to 800 yards"500 yd (457 m) Identification: "Full-body identification at up to 500 yards with good optics" | 4 h Full intensity | |||
| IR (wavelength not published) | 1,170 yd (1,070 m) IR range with night vision: "Infrared illumination up to 1,170 yards (1070 m)" | 3 h Full intensity | |||
| IR (wavelength not published): Coyote Light says "Infrared" without giving a wavelength. | |||||
IR range depends on the night vision unit behind it, so IR rows carry no calculated throw. Distances that are not ANSI FL1 ("target illumination", "eyes at", identification) are the maker's own field claims and do not compare across brands.
