## Description

Product Description What’s the difference between 850nm and 940nm? The 850nm offers maximum range and brightness, while the 940nm produces virtually no visible red glow, making it more covert. Choose 850nm for performance, 940nm for discretion. Is the XB5 compatible with my night vision device? Yes – the XB5 is designed for use with NVGs and night vision devices. The 850nm variant offers the strongest signal for most devices, while 940nm suits setups where minimal visible glow is important. How far does the XB5 illuminate? In good conditions, expect an effective range of around 180 metres, though this will vary depending on your NVG or night vision device. What battery does the XB5 use? The XB5 uses a single lithium battery, which is not included. Any standard 18650 cell will work.

Review: Impressive works great - Very pleased with the item was very good quality it adjusts from flood to spot and the dimming function is step less and allows you to turn it to minimum for close range and conserve battery overall a quality piece of kit for the price delivery was very quick
Review: Works well for the price (£40) - 850nm version. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great piece of kit.
*by C***L on 19 October 2025*

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.
