Edit:

Seems that this is not a good light after all, mentioned by RaceR below,..So better forget about this one... and buy something else.

Sorry for bothering.

I cant positively remember but I thought some of these lights were like a P60. They had a drop in pill.

Specc’d at 4500 lumens. Divide by?

I have bought a similar light on aliexpress before. Mediocre 5 mode boost driver, with mediocre output. Like MRsDNF mentioned, its kinda like having a large "P60 module" sitting in the light. Compared to a P60 is got much worse thermal path to body and crappy connection from battery/body to driver. At least that is how mine were built, and how a few others I have heard of in the past seemed to be built that way too. I thought id overcome most of the bad stuff when ordering. But a complete and total rebuild would not be worth it, so I just made it less bad (replaced driver and took care of some of the resistance issue)

Personally, I would not buy another even if its was 20$.

That has always been the rap on this light.
I never owned it, so do not take that as Gospel but many people shyed me away from it.

Others can chime in with details.
May want to hold off till you hear from them.
Later,
