I've been into SS bezels for a long time. I once bought a SS bezel C8 for $25 just to get the bezel, and put it on my maxed modded UltraFire C8. Must have had $80 into that thing.
I didnāt mean to ignore this. I know the C8 is a popular weapon mount but I have not heard any demand for more aggressive bezels until your post. I could easily have missed it thoughā¦
It certainly wonāt be the first round but if there are sufficient people that actually want this then it can probably make the next in line list, though Iād need to run it by Simon. I personally have never thought āattack bezelsā to be taken seriously but Iām not so arrogant as to think my opinion is more than just that.
If others are interested in an āattack bezelā feel free to speak up but know that it would probably cost significantly more than the simple SS bezel currently being proposed.
There are standard C8's then there are standard C8's. Another words, no guarantees. I've done a lot of LEGO'ing of C8 parts a ways back, and managed some success, some not so much. This is sourcing from Simon, so I'm sure all he cares about is the Convoy C8, so that's all you should expect, I would think. So if you happened to have a Convoy C8, try it's bezel on another C8 - if it fits, probably his SS bezel will fit. I've put an SS bezel on a L4 - came off a UltraFire light, so sometimes you do get lucky.
If I recall (this was couple years ago), the SS bezel didn't go completely down on the threads but worked holding the lens and reflector down fine.
I still like the Rocher AS31's SS bezel, it's thin, light weight, classy look'n:
I have 4 C8s, 2 by Convoy, an UltraFire and a Thorfire cheapo, and the bezels are all interchangeable.
The rest is not.
I have 2 more lights with the same bezels, and they are interchangeable too.
A.f.a.i.k. only the Xtind bezel is slightly taller, but uses the same threading though.
First round. A test sample only and itās 3mm longer than it should be, but I figure Iād post a picture to see what you all think. This is one of two designs the second of which is a different style and crenelated though not like the existing bezel. Feel free to comment on this one.
