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 | Lumens Lumens vs candela Lumens is all the light a flashlight puts out, in every direction. Candela is how intense the beam is at its brightest point. For reaching a coyote or hog far off, candela is the number that matters. | 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. | Runtime |

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.
