The kindness and thoughtfulness of many members here on BLF never ceases to amaze me. The other day I went to the post office and received yet another package that I never ordered! Inside I found...
Foybezels!
If you have no idea what a Foybezel is, that's perfectly excusable. But if you do a search here for "Foybezel" you'll see the history of this aesthetic creation by our own member, the one and only Foy. In the title of this post, I state that what I received improves on perfection. How so? Well, the line of P60 hosts by Solarforce are widely regarded as the best value in budget flashlights, bar none. Paired with a nice XM-L dropin and a good 18650 battery, a Solarforce flashlight provides an unbeatable combination of utility, brightness, and practicality at a truly reasonable price. Additionally, most Solarforce designs are extremely pleasing to the eye in terms of aesthetics... with one glaring exception-- the bezel. Now, I have a theory that Solarforce ships their lights by default with an ugly bezel on purpose. They hope that you will buy the beautiful light and then spend additional money on a nice looking smooth bezel. So Foy decided to resolve this issue by creating the Foybezel, a custom-made smooth stainless steel bezel for P60 hosts.
I personally hate bezels with crenelations, spikes, ridges, etc. I own three Solarforce L2P bodies, all with a rather ugly crenelated bezel. So you can imagine my elation when I received this package from Foy with two beautifully smooth, shiny, simple, stainless steel bezels. They look simply perfect on my L2P bodies:
Notice that he sent me two variants: A standard thickness bezel (top), and a really slick low profile bezel (bottom). I love them both. The aesthetic improvement offered by a Foybezel is readily apparent, as can be noted in this side-by-side comparison with a standard Solarforce bezel:
The difference is just like night and day. Thanks so much to Foy for his kindness and thoughtfulness, and congratulations on creating these simply beautiful bezels that improve on perfection.
