Here's what Sunpak's customer service emailed me today:

"It provides IR only, peak output 840nM. (if you fire at full manual power, a 
dim red light is visible from a distance of a foot or two).  Information is 
available on our web site, or we will be happy to mail it to you if you 
provide a mailing address.  Most of our users are Police/Forensics, or 
Nature/Wildlife photographers.  We cannot release any names."
