Got a Scorpoin V2 and Neutron 1A, both made by Thrunite and ordered from Battery Junction.
Cheers: Thus far, I'm very impressed with both. They are very bright and the Scorpion V2 is everything that I've liked about the Gladius with far more brightness and far less cost.
The Neutron puts out an incredible amount of light on one AW 14500. Soon, it will be bored, by precisionworks, to accept an AW 17500 for longer runtime. He also promised to make me an AA sleeve and single CR123 spacer. Thanks, Barry! Pics will be posted by one of us once completed.
Jeers: Not sure if I have an aberration but my Scorpion V2 actually has a dark spot in the center of its beam. Not sure if the focus can be adjusted, within the body, or not. Anyone have ideas?
I want a forward-clicky option on my Neutron. As it sits, it's the only reverse-clicky light that I own and would call it a near-perfect EDC with a forward-clicky, especially a McClicky...
If Thrunite would offer parts, the Neutron could be a very nice LEGO setup. One could order the body, head and tailcap to get what they want. A 1A, 2A or 1C (4kHz PWM) head, all the same between these models, could be paired with a 2C (2C heads have a terrible 150Hz PWM) body for a 17670-only setup, etc... This could be a near-ultimate EDC... Offering forward or reverse clicky tailcaps could allow purchasers to get the configuration that they're most used-to.
Overall: The Scorpion V2 is the next, logical, evolution of the Gladius. It's too bad that Insight/Blackhawk did not continue to develop the Gladius and keep increasing the output to keep up.
The Neutron series is a bad-*** EDC-class light that could benefit from more options from Thrunite and their dealers. A tactical version that has security/LE professional-specific modes would be nice.
In Summary: These lights are awesome! The Scorpion V2 is, simply, the best primary light for law enforcement or security, yet made, that I've tried.
The Neutron is a super-impressive EDC or LE/Security backup light. When it comes to concealed carry, I would rank the Thrunite 1A right up there with the best production EDC lights, like the Surefire E1B.
