That would actually make a great video see if we can smash a window with a stainless steel bezel. Any one want to lend me a window? 
I think you’ll be surprised at how hard it is to break a car window, at least when you want it to break :person_facepalming:
Yea I know but not only car windows we could be talking house windows in an emergency. Also depends on the windows it’s self.
You need a pointy hammer for a car window.
Not a flashlight…
I don’t like the grooves on the proposed bezel.
I’s not “C8”.
Something like this would be best:
But the C8 needs a rather tall bezel, so maybe it’s just not a good idea either way…
However, this:
Looks good too i.m.o.
Any news? It seems like all is quiet on the western front (starting from the USA).
A standard C8 bezel made of regular shiny stainless steel can be an asset to any C8.
But most certainly would look great on a clear coated or a (light)grey C8. Just saying.
I would pay $6 for an SS bezel for the C8. Jeez, even an SS bezel for a Solarforce P60 host costs $6.
Only requirement: It has to be foy-bezel style, no “tactical” BS crenelating. :smiling_imp:
If you look back through this thread you’ll see pictures of the first prototype. That one will never see production. In fact, I’m sorry foy-fans but if it happens it’s going to be a crenelated bezel, but not in the old style and nothing aggressively tactical. I can show you what it will look like pretty soon and more news will be coming after CNY is completely over. Takes a while for things in China to return to normal after the festival time is over.
“Not in the old style”
The old style being the normal C8 bezel shape?
Can’t wait to see what it’ll be. 
I might sand back a old C8 bezel i have here and polish it up. I can always sand the bezel to the shape i want it.
Standard bezel is half between the prototype and what i wanted lol. In hindsight a bezel that is to big just gets in the way.
The crenelations are good because i store my C8s upside down so its good to know the light isn’t on.
I suppose I can give you a glimpse of what I’m proposing. As you know, the first prototype didn’t come out quite the way we hoped. Simon didn’t like it at all and wanted to just scrap the whole project. I think I may have him convinced to give it a second shot though. I knew I needed to help Simon see what I was envisioning so I asked a friend to help me create a “picture” of what I think the bezel should look like. He’s pretty decent with CAD models and rendering images from said models. Some of you may have seen my friend’s work before. :sunglasses:
This is about what I had in mind…
Is this something you would buy?
Nice work mate I like it! Its probably the same height as the original bezel just its square cuts not rounded edges.
Its nice.
Actually, it’s shorter than the original bezel by about 2 mm.
Cool i like it a lot. Just have to wait and see what Simon says.
The overall size doesn’t really matter. It would be good to see how it works on the light if it interferes with the beam at all. Seeing as its short i doubt that it would.
Darn! Wish we would have thought of how it might interfere with the beam…Oh, wait… 
Somehow I think we’ll be ok.
I would buy in a heartbeat. That will not get in the way of the beam. Little more spill!
Good work!
i like the look j-dub74 and for $6 its a steal!
That looks great.
I wouldn’t buy one for the sake of buying one, but if I needed a replacement bezel I would definitely choose that over the original.
Thanks guys. All positives so far. :+1: I sent Simon a few of these renderings too and I believe they have changed his mind. He said he’ll have a few samples made once CNY is over. I am extremely grateful to my friend for created these renderings for me. They allowed me to show Simon almost exactly what the finished product should look like. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Actually when a language barrier is thrown in I think the value of said picture goes even higher!
