This is a picture I got from Size15s.

Size15s: Here is the Z20 (It's the same length as an SF123A) I assume it's made of solid Aluminium shrink-wrapped in blue.

Z20 -
It replaces one SF123A allowing you to use Lamp Assemblies designed for one less SF123As then your SureFire body is designed to carry.
1xSF123A + Z20 = 3V lamp in a 6V body
2xSF123A + Z20 = 6V lamp in a 9V body
3xSF123A + Z20 = 9V lamp in a 12V body

Z29 -
It allows you to power a G2R, 6R or 7Z with two SF123As rather than the standard B65 NiCad battery stick. Both battery configs power the P60/P61.
2xSF123A + Z29 = 1xB65 (in length)

I hope this helps?

I bought one from LPS a while ago for around $4.20 to $4.50 If I remember correctly.

Klaus makes up hardwood dowel dummies with nails through the center for 34MM long 123 size, 17MM long 1/2 123 size and, and 50.5 mm long aa size.

Klaus' dummies aren't a pretty as the SF dummy but they work. He doesn't make them for sale but has been persuaded to do so as an inducement to trade.

I have used the 17 MM size to combine 3@ Alkaline AA's plus a CR123 on each side of a serial - parallel DB8AA to drive a 9.0 V 1.1 A W/A bulb.

I've also drilled a 3/4" hole in the center of two 58 mm long 1 1/4" dowel to use one of the 17mm dummies along with a 43mm long rechargeable 4/5 A cell as a charging adapter fixture for this odd cell. The combined length of 60 MM compares to the 61 mm of a D cell.

Similarly, I'm thinking of drilling some 15/16" holes in the center of a few of these dowel sections to make a charging adapter fixture for 43mm long 3000 mAh sub C cells.
