Thanks Chip, great post.
To all those of you that aren't familiar with that range, the light did indeed reach the back fence at about 800 yards. I believe that the rapid focus feature sets it apart from other lights on the market.
Torch PRO
The TNVC Torch PRO is the latest generation of the wildly popular Torch line of Infrared Illuminators and yet again, shifts the paradigm. The Torch PRO re-imagines the concept by introducing a host of features not found in any other product on the market, while offering performance that rivals anything in its class. A clean, smooth, and focus-able beam of infrared light is emitted from its high-power LED. Seamless mechanical focus allows adjustment between 1 and 10°, offering area or point illumination at distances past 800 yards!
Encased in a sleek yet rugged aerospace-grade aluminum housing with Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodizing, the Torch PRO’s virtually indestructible LED provides the user with the best civilian-legal IR illumination on the market. A German-made impact-resistant glass lens system produces a crisp beam while the smooth focus ring allows for easy one hand operation. The wide flood allows for area illumination at close distances, while the tight spot aids in identification of targets at long range.
While the Torch PRO is a great hand-held illuminator, its 1″ tube allows for a plethora of weapon mount options. We offer it packaged with the excellent VTAC Light Mount. Its Tactical Tailcap mimics familiar operating procedures from other popular lights: Press for momentary activation, twist for constant-on. A built-in switch lockout prevents accidental activation during transport or storage. The Torch PRO is designed to stand up to field abuse, including complete water submersion.
Oh, did we mention compatibility with existing Surefire, LLC tailcaps? You read that right, the TNVC Torch PRO is compatible with Surefire XM and Z59 Tailcaps! You wanted options? You got options! Oh, and while we're at it, I might as well throw in the compatibility with Surefire G2, 6P, Z, C, and PX Series light bodies for good measure. Hell yes, we totally went there! So, this means that you can now have your Surefire light in a weapon mount and say "Hey, I think I'm gonna go blast some hogs tonight!" All you have to do is unscrew the head off your Surefire light and screw the Torch PRO head on in its place. Voila! It's time to go make some bacon! **Note** the Torch PRO head is only compatible with the 2-cell Surefire ligths from the series mentioned above. 3 cells can possibly damage the Torch PRO circuitry due to over-voltage.
We have listened to the feedback from end users of the legacy ELR Torch-V. Their input has helped us develop, what we feel, is the most versatile infrared illuminator available today.

No, no, no: Thanks go to you Doc! We wanted to get these babies up on the web as soon as possible, but Mother nature was not cooperating and the ambient light was such that we could not properly show off the Torch PRO's capabilities (too bright out). Doc here, was one of our beta testers and kindly offered us the use of some of his photos until we could wait out the moon cycle. For those of you who want a true hog-hunting experience, contact HTR.
Nice feature making the tail cap compatible with SureFire's! More options and availability.

Thanks! That's one of my favorite features. The XM07 makes it an ideal weapon-mounted illuminator. I'm partial to clicky-type tailcaps anyway and don't really like pressure switches, but a lot of our customers like them.

Haha, the stock cap on the PRO works just like a legacy Surefire G2 Tactical Tail Cap. The market is split with half the guys liking this while half like clicky. I happen to be a clicky guy myself. But, that is the main reason we wanted it to be compatible with other switches

Here is a true 825 yard shot
So folks know, we are now shipping Torch Pro's as of last week. Already been through our first batch release, 2nd batch shipping all this week. Many folks are very pleased with the results thus far. Besides the effective range, the super smooth rotating bezel for the adj. focus beam turns like butter and is most impressive.
