Note 850nm produces more light than 940nm. 940nm is more discrete and not all cameras pick it up. I bought this torch to occupancy my night vision rifle scope. For 2 reasons, 1. prolong camera battery by using different ir source. 2. I could put torch in different location to me so I won’t get reflection when looking through glass to outside. For both of these points it works well. The torch itself is made well, feels tough. It’s not any heavier than any other torch of its size. Cannot really comment on its illumination range as I’ve not tested how far, but my garden is 80ft and it illuminated it well at the back. You can also widen or spread beam to suit. Intensity control wheel nice and easy to use. The illumination is better on my camera at setting 1 than this torch is on max, however this is probably why my camera can only last an hour and a half with it on, this is not a problem though as the torch does as its intended to and we’re talking different league of money. As a previous review states and I also see, there are a few lines can be seen flowing from top to bottom. This doesn’t effect my use, it could be the torch, it could be my camera. But it doesn’t matter to me. To sum this up if you want a torch to illuminate ir this will do it. If you want a torch for an alternate ir source for night hunting within 100m this will do it. May be suitable for further but not tested, so can only confirm what I know. (Mounting to a rifle could be done with the right clamps, will obviously add weight to your setup) Yes there are better torches out there but it’ll cost you more and if you need more ir light, it’s probably not a torch you need. Review: Great piece of kit. - I bought this to replace the cheap non adjustable IR torch I have, and what a difference. 100% better, and the dimmer switch is a very useful touch. My only gripe is that the battery life is quite short, so make sure you have a few spare batteries with you. ## Features - POWERFUL 5W IR ILLUMINATOR – The Nightfox XB5 is a handheld infrared torch that dramatically extends the range of any night vision device.
