Review to follow in due course. It just got here an hour or so ago
800 lumens? That will be right!

Cheap for the dropin alone - an essentially free body goes with it. Which is about what it is worth IMO.
The light. Nice looking enough.
As 18650 lights go, it isn't large - there are few P60 lights smaller than this.
It fits nicely in the Ultrafire 6.5" holster which costs less than $1.50
Pretty standard switch - could do with a bit more threading IMO, but this does mean it takes longer to get on and off. Tastes vary, I suppose. "De gustibus, non disputandum" if I remember my Latin which I probably don't
Not a lot of threading there
Body tube at tailcap end. Threads lubed.
Tailcap off and bezel/front of head off.
Unusually the head is also removable as well as just the "bezel". This is probably to save materials and could only happen in places where labour costs less than materials - it wouldn't make sense to do it this way in most of the West. It is the default Chinese approach though. The downside of this is poor thermal contact - especially for a high-powererd LED. There is a very small amount of contact at the throat which has to serve all the heatsinking duties. For a high powered incan this doesn't matter and makes it less likely to burn your hands. It is not a good idea with LEDs.
Thermal contact, or lack thereof.
The LED - it is bright. 5-modes - H M L strobe SOS. That's an M bin MC-E according to DX and they claim 800 lumens. We'll see. At first glance it is pretty bright.
The stripped body tube. Yep, it is lubed. Excessively so at the head end.
It works
Beam at 2" on low so as not to dazzle the camera. This isn't as bad as some.
By 4" the hole is gone.
