2x18650 is probably the best way to run the MN15/16.
No idea about spacers though, sorry.

AW's thread in the MP: Dummy CR123A / AA $5 each Shipped.
Or... they are not difficult to make yourself.
2x CR123A = 1x 18650 in length.

I run both of these bulbs all the time in one of my lights: SF KT4 + Leef C-M 2x18650 body, Leef clickie tailcap. Works great!

i 'm go to use the bi pin holder made by fivemega what other bulbs could i use with 2 18650 and 1 dummy cell in a Megalennium body? this is more a back up bulb oh i,m useing the aw muilt stage soft start switch some thing cheap maybe generic chinese bulb
the main use for this is lighting long range corridors and tunnels in under ground, caves,bunkers, large dark buildings, storm drains ect,ect for photo's and would be nice to have options.

With the FM bi-pin adapter you might consider a WA1111, slightly brighter than the MN16 on a pair of 18650s (but not much). Not all brands of protected cells will light it up though. As a nice alternative the GE787 is a nice all around bulb for the 2x li-ion configuration but often over-looked. Will give around an hour of runtime on the 18650s and is a nice half-way between the MN15 and MN16 with decent bulb life at this drive level.
