Did that U.S. made 'Powerlite' really have an 800' beam?

I have a Miller dynamo set. Bought brand-new about 2002 and identical to the one I had as a kid in the 1960s. But made in India. I suspect, like lots of ex-British manufactured products, they got the presses and tools and just carried on making stuff...
