It would be nice if they drove the LEDs to spec at 5A instead of 2.5A. But you aren't doing that with a single 18650, probably take three in parallel, or two sets of three. The result is not a small light - which is probably just as well as otherwise it'd get hot enough to melt solder joints.

I do fancy something that drove one of these LEDs at spec. It won't be small or terribly cheap though. 

Since DX seem unable or unwilling to ship a big light I ordered last year, I think they owe me enough to get my hands on one of these. Tempted...

Thanks for this info! Definitely are the cheapest sst-50 lights yet.

Would be a good modding candidate if you can find the right driver. =)

Yeah @ 2.5A there going to be putting out less than a SSC P7 .. 

 An IMR should be able to deliver , they say up to 5A ?  ??????  Anyways , my MTE SSC P7 pulls just a tad over 3A on fresh cells , so no real point buying a under driven SST 50 ..  Hopefully they will get better ..  

Now 2x18650 for 8.4v and 2.5A , I could go for that ! 

To make it short - what we need is a $50 Romisen RC-TC (as in Thrunite Catapult: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=252477)
