Yes, not a problem. Chinese lights that run on 4x18650 are what's called 2S2P - two sets in Series of two cells in Parallel. Total is around 8 volts (7.4 to 8.4v depending on whether they use nominal or peak voltage - same thing either way).

This 6 cell pack is 2S3P configuration - two sets of THREE cells in parallel. Same voltage. Longer run time because three cells gives you more mAH.

I use a 6 cell pack in the dead of winter when I need longer run time and the cold saps the cells power.
