Sniper Hog Lights' own figures for every color it sells for this light (you pick one, and can add modules). The distance column keeps the maker's words, because makers define distance differently. The calculated column is the ANSI FL1 throw from the maker's candela: where the beam falls to 0.25 lux, about full moonlight.
| Color | Candela | Maker's distance claim | ANSI FL1 throw from candela (calculated) ANSI FL1 throw The flashlight standard's beam distance: how far until the beam falls to 0.25 lux, about full moonlight. It is 2 × √candela meters, so it can be checked against the maker's own candela. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | 47,000 cd | 473 yd (433 m) ANSI FL1 distance: "Distance the light shines, ANSI FL1 (maker chart)" | 474 yd (434 m)Matches the maker's FL1 distance. |
| Green | 159,751 cd | 874 yd (799 m) ANSI FL1 distance: "Distance the light shines, ANSI FL1 (maker chart)" | 874 yd (799 m)Matches the maker's FL1 distance. |
| White | 134,244 cd | 800 yd (732 m) ANSI FL1 distance: "Distance the light shines, ANSI FL1 (maker chart)" | 801 yd (733 m)Matches the maker's FL1 distance. |
| IR 850 nm | — | 450 yd (411 m) IR range with night vision: "How far you can expect to see with digital night vision (maker chart)"850 yd (777 m) IR range with night vision: "With Gen 3 night vision (maker chart)" | — |
| IR 940 nm | — | 250 yd (229 m) IR range with night vision: "How far you can expect to see with digital night vision (maker chart)"700 yd (640 m) IR range with night vision: "With Gen 3 night vision (maker chart)" | — |
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.
