Just another ultrafire / trustfire rebrand light from China. Same thing from DX costs ~$40

its ~450-500L tops. That host does not have the thermal cooling capacity to cool an SSC-P7 driven to 900 Lumens.

DX-2

Regarding costco pack... I would not pay that much for those lights.

I have the Aurora AK-P7 which looks similar and from looking at it the Costco light has the larger 55mm head. I do know direct drive it's got plenty of cooling capacity for at least 2.8 amps, which seems to be all these can draw direct drive on 1 18650. If I put my MC-E and direct drive it I know it's got enough cooling capacity and a good thermal path for the 4+ amps direct drive.
