I will say yes. As I can remember the vn is 31000 lumens. My X80GT close to 28000 lumens has no modification but I must say the X50 is definitely much better with throw and as well much better with the lumens output.
X50 is going to be my next light. I am going to ask my favorite modder if he can replace the cells when the time comes. If he can't, I still want this light.
Are the cells 18650 or similar, or are they a special, unobtainable size?

Very disappointed in the throw. Is not as much as the advertised 160Kcd or 800 meter. More in the region of 630 meter distance. The 40 000 lumens output seems correct.
I was unfortunately also quite disappointed with the X50 range.
Ultimately, I sent the X50 back to the dealer because the 800m was not nearly reached. Even the 630m mentioned by you I can not understand so. Likewise, the information about the runtime on turbo seems to be unfortunately also only marketing. Very sad, because the lamp is otherwise great in terms of appearance, processing, feel, fast charging and lockout switch.
