NightSnipe's own figures for every color it sells for this light. The distance column keeps the maker's words, because makers define distance differently.
| Color | Maker's distance claim | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IR 850 nm | 400 yd (366 m) IR range with night vision: "Illuminating your target at 400+ yards" | ||||
| IR 850 nm: 850 nm, 1070 mW, per the maker. | |||||
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.
