Does the Scorpion and Lynx by Thrunite both use the same reflector? I have read that the turbohead will also fit the Lynx, if so will the same gains be seen using the turbohead on my Lynx? In reality are the gains in throw with a turbohead that beneficial, or is the money better spent on batteries and/or another flashlight?
Is it likely Thrunite will be bringing out a Lynx specific turbohead?
Thanks
BTW the Lynx is my first decent flashlight and I am thrilled with it.
The lynx is just the new update name for the scorpion series, it’s just had it’s light output settings changed and the tail cap is now more sturdy than the v2s plastic one which is the only part of my v2 i don’t like. The turbo head is interchangeable with the lynx, and the video below will show you the throw of the scorpion v2 standard head (which is Almost like the beam of the lynx) and the throw of the v2 with a turbo head which will give you an idea of the throw you’ll get with the lynx
Thanks for link, I have watched that video when choosing a light, and also a lot of the other Going Gear videos.
It appears in the video to make a significant improvement to the hotspot?? I wonder if it is as noticeable in real life?
So the only difference between Lynx and Scorpion is the tail cap/switch? The rest is identical then?
Only dislike I have is the lockout/permanent off, I just keep pressing it quickly until it goes out.

Yes, it really does, i haven’t bothered with the standard v2 head since i got the turbo head, plenty of spill and better visuals at distance.

No, not just the switch, the lynx has a full metal switch now and the v2 has a plastic one which makes the lynx alot more durable, i’ve replaced 1 v2 switch after i dropped mine and broke it and i doubt that will happen with the lynx, the lynx is programable with it’s lumens output also on 3 setting from 0.4lm to 1000lm and the lynx uses a buck boost driver that will give you the same voltage to the LED no matter what the battery voltage is so it gives a constant brightness instead of a diminishing light output when voltage drops.

It’s kind of a good thing if you think about it, but it can be a, “put up with it” thing for some, But it does stop the FL from accidental turn on.
