18650 = 18mm diameter, 65mm length, 'O' as in round shape.
CR123's are 16mm diameter, a bit smaller than an 18650.

17670 might work, thats what I use in my 4Sevens Quark 123^2. Slightly less runtime than the 18650 but it's rechargeable so it saves a lot of money in the long run.

Hmmm... CR123: 3V each, for a total of 6V. 18650: 3.7V. So, size aside: Unless the light is set up to operate well over 3.7V to 6V: Nope?

Bore the flashlight body?
I recall seeing a video on youtube of a guy who used sandpaper + rotational bit.

The Redilast (Sanyo 16650) protected 17670 2000mAh cells fit perfectly in my unbored 6P LED. I even bought the Redilast/EDC+ 3 mode P60 XM-L2 U2 drop in and the light is now actually usable!
And all for only $72 shipped.
Try the 17670s and a good charger like Xtar WP2 II, or VP1 and stop with the 'Primary' mainlining addiction.

17670 do fit in many surefire models. The E2Es take them perfectly
They fit in the E2D lights however they are tight towards the bottom and require full disassembly and a skinny object to push the battery out.
Also keep in mind that surefire lights that accept the 17670 have bulbs that need 6v to be efficient. You'll have to find aftermarket bulbs /LED emitters to match the 3.7v of the 17670.
