I picked up a 1W 3xAAA light from Princess Auto (similar to Harbour Freight??) yesterday ($20). Here are some pics. The LED looked like a clone, however I was surprised when I checked out the back of the star.
1340 Lux @1m
Current to emitter >400mA (This is direct drive through a 2 ohm resistor - I measured 406mA at tailcap with my probe leads in place. Current without the leads in place will be greater)
The tailcap looks like it could be modified (drilled out) to accept an 18650.
Beamshot: TW0H driven at 350mA and the 1W TY0J Princess Auto Light
