@John Doe I'm mainly using mine for home defense, but having the longer throw when outside would be nice. I'm thinking the Turbo is the one to get, as it gives you the best of both worlds. The lumens on the turbo are 700 compared to 1,500 on the non-turbo Scout, but 1,500 lumens inside a home at night is a lot of light and may be a little too much. There is so much research that goes into every accessory. Thanks again for your input.
