Review: High quality IR torch - Very impressive torch - very high quality and well made but at a reasonable price, simple to operate and nice to have the option to alter the range and focus of the beam - the 'ON' indicator light is also super helpful given this is IR. Works perfectly with the Prowl monocular and provides plenty of IR light while saving the battery on the monocular itself. Doesn't come with a battery but I used a button topped 18650 type and it fit with no issues at all. Pleased and impressed with my purchase - would recommend!
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ XB% Pro Flexible and easy recharge.
*by J***R on 17 June 2025*

The XB5Pro is a fantastic IR torch which is both powerful (on a narrow focal beam) and practical having both a variable fucus beam and a dimmable power output. it is sturdily built and has an inbuilt charging port (USB C) which makes recharging easier. One down side at the moment is that the focus head is very stiff, which i expect will free up during prolonged usages.
