With the different voltages of P60 drop-ins, does anybody make a spacer to replace a CR123 in a 2x CR123 body?

A $5.00 Dummy Cell? You have to be kidding.

My buddy said he could make them with a wooden dowel and a #12 wire.

But he has cancer, so I'm trying to take easy on him.

You asked I answered. Price is nothing to do with me. :poke:

Thanks, Norm. I appreciate your response. But, in the long run $5.00 is a pretty cheap replacement to keep things from frying.

In this day and age, I guess I was thinking more insulation and less metal would be used.

Lighthound sells one also. It's $5. It's a quality item though, even if I do agree it's a bit overpriced for what it is. I would not expect economy of scale to come into play for such a relatively obscure product.

$5 is expensive? I assume it takes some materials and some work to make these, plus in that $5, shipping to anywhere in the world is included! It is a good deal.

AW's price of $5 includes shipping.

You have to add shipping from all the US dealers.

If all you need is one CR123 dummy cell, AW's price isn't bad.

What about just using a R17670?... if you can use rechargables, it should fit right in a 2xcr123 body.

Surefire sells them. I have one I ordered several years from a SF dealer. Wrapped like a regular battery with + nipple. Solid aluminum.
