Are there any long running lamp assemblys for SF 12Z?

[Rotten Ron]

I have purchased a MN60 225Lu/60 min lamp on some earlier advise. Is there anything longer running? Not LED. Does the MN60 need a dummy cell since 12Z is 4 cell? Thanks for any help. Ron

Like the N62 the MN61 and MN60 are supposed to be used with 4 cells (12V). If you use the MN60 with the 12Z and a dummy cell you would power the LA with only 9V which is not enough - the beam color would be noticeably yellow.

You could use a KL3 with the 12Z,but then you have to use one dummy cell because the KL3 is only designed for a maximum of 9V / 3cells!

Other than that there is no LA to use with the 12Z.

Hope, that helps.

Klaus.

Yup, the MN60 is the longest running incan lamp you can put in there, it is made to run on 4 cells.

Thank you for the info! I noticed my 6P lens cap will fit the 12Z. Can I fit a SLP 90 or SLP 91 lamp assembly from a Z3 in the 6P lens cap and screw it onto 12Z if I use a dummy cell? This would make it more managable instead of that big lens assembly the 12Z came with. Thank you again for your time and help. Ron

Yes you can use a P90 lamp with dummy cell for 60 min @ 105 lumens or a P91 with a dummy cell for 20 min @ 200 lumens.Would you trade the 4 cell body for a new 9P body without a bezel?

I like the four cell body because it is ready for a kl4 and other configuations. Thanks for the offer though. Im hoping the extenion from my b65 battery kit will enable me to use the 12Z with a 6 cell setup(I might have to cut a dummy cell to fit). Thanks again for all replys. Ron
