ASPHERICAL LENS PROTECTIVE BEZELS***2ND RUN SALES***(CLOSED)

(CLOSED)
Welcome to my 2nd Run Maglite Aspherical Lens Protective Bezel sales thread! :twothumbs
(1st run thread here.)

I am now planning to offer six different models of a protective bezel for aspherical lenses and stock Mag flat lenses. The M.G.A.F.T., F.L.K.D.F.T., M.G.A.C., F.L.K.D.C.S., M.G.A.C.F.S. and the F.L.K.D.C.F.S. bezels have been designed to be used with the CVI Melles Griot P/N LAG-52.0-37.0-C (f.k.a. 01-LAG-123), P/N LAG-52.0-33.0-C (f.k.a. 01-LAG-010), P/N KD4167, SKU:S003958 aspherical lenses and any 52mm stock Maglite flat lens. In order to designate an A.R. coating (anti-reflective) for the Melles Griot lenses include the sufix SLMF-400-700 in the part number.

All six styles bezels are a direct replacement for the bezels on your Maglite C & D cell flashlights. No muss no fuss, just remove the stock Mag bezel and replace it with one of these beauties!

These bezels are CNC fabricated from solid 303 Stainless Steel round stock with a #8 high polished finish. These bezels have been designed to ensure full protection of your aspherical lens allowing the user to stand the Maglite up on its head avoiding damage to the light and lens from accidental roll off a table or bench top. In addition, these bezels will protect the user's eyes from the annoying reflective spill inherent with aspherical lenses. Besides the esthetically pleasing look the highly polished interior walls of these bezels they will also aid in the collimation of any side spill light that would other
wise be lost.

On this production run I have made arrangements to have all six model bezels thrown in T6061 Aluminum as well. The finishes being offered will be Type III Hard Anodized or just bare alum. I'm leaving the color selection open for now in order to see what the member majority wants. It's a possibility that two colors may be offered but that depends on the number of bezels ordered. For now I don't have any pictures of the aluminum version and I am not sure what the pricing will be with the HAIII finish. Please use the current pricing as a reference when ordering; however the bare alum will be cheaper.

LENS PURCHASE HANDLING CHARGE
On the suggestion of a trusted member I have reconsidered offering another group lens buy. However, this added service will have to come at a price. I'm willing to purchase a CVI Melles Griot aspherical lens for any member purchasing a bezel for an additional $5 above the lens retail. Without the purchase of bezel it will cost an addition $20 above the lens retail price. These added charges are to cover my time and energy for handling each lens order.

LENS PURCHASING & SHIPPING
If you are purchasing a bezel please include $10 for S/H + 9.25% CA tax in addition to the lens price. Please apply the 9.25% to the lens price only not the S/H. The 9.25% CA Sales Tax applies to everyone purchasing a lens because I am being charged this sales tax by Melles Griot even though they are located in Arizona. For example if you were to purchase the lens yourself you would still be charged sales tax at the applicable percentage of your home state.

If you are not purchasing a bezel then I need an additional $6 for domestic and $9 for international to cover the shipping cost from me to you. The $6 only covers shipping from Melles Griot to me, but when packaged with a bezel the lens shipping is already covered by the bezel S/H.


**PLEASE NOTE** The use of these bezels on any Maglite older than 20 years cannot be guaranteed so please contact me prior to purchase.

This is a special fluted aluminum version I had my machinist do for me. I thought I would post it just to see what kind of feedback members would have. No firm pricing at this point and I do not have any spares available. Of course if there is enough interest I'm sure something could be worked out.

• S.S. with external #16 brushed look with internal surface polished or both surfaces brushed.

Nanomiser , i have a lame request, i love the non strike clean version of your bezel, and the price is right , M.G.A.F.T.Bezel
but i would like to have one in cheap lightweight aluminum. no polish or brush nessisary.

would it be possible to throw an aluminum "shrimp on your barby" and cook me up a lightweight one?

you see my mag has been finned, and i use Li-ion and its cut and , well it hardly weighs anything.
but nobody has a bezel design as clean and straight and un scalloped and all, and with the full lengths, and i dont really need to protect the lens, i just need the HOOD, so i dont have to see the back refelection from the thing.

 

[Nanomiser]

That's actually a very good request because as it turns out these bezels are a bit on the weighty side. I just had an M.G.A.C.F.S. on one of my C Mags and man it was very top heavy. The finned model is the worst case scenario, but even the other two still have some bulk.

Besides the weight reason my original plan was to make these out of T6061 aluminum and offer them bare or with a type III HA. Let me see what I can do during this next run to get my machinist to throw a few lite-versions.

 

[VidPro]

great thanks for concidering it, as soon as you find out, i can place a deposit for to be in line for one.

 

[Nanomiser]

I talked to my machinist and it looks like aluminum bezels will be available!

What type of finish are you looking for?

 

[VidPro]

I talked to my machinist and it looks like aluminum bezels will be available!

What type of finish are you looking for?

no finish see that silver mag, which doesnt look silver at all, or shiney , that is what it would go on. i was thinking of spreading GITD in the inside. mabey put a Vynal GITD on the outside. i dont need nothing but the machine work. and mabey a gasket o-ring thing if the one i have wont work. make mine Machine oil raw, with a side of lathe lines keep the artistic mirror finishes and stainless perfection for something important, this is just evermodmag, ever time something changes i plop something else in it.

 

[Nanomiser]

One aluminum M.G.A.F.T. sushi raw no problem mate

The GITD decore sounds very cool I'd like to see pics of that when your done.

You will need the o-ring unless you already have a 2-136 laying around. You are going to use a Melles Griot 01-LAG-123 lens with this bezel right?

If not please let me know so I can get you the proper mounting seals and or parts.

Before I forget I need to get you up on the list.

Thanks for your interest. :thumbsup:

 

[VidPro]

i use the original surplus shed aspherial , dont even know its name, it just fits and works, it was the one with the "best" pattern from the surplus shed before they got swooped up.

so how much is it gonna cost me, cause i should pay for it now, cause i might not be readily avilable when you get done.

 

[Nanomiser]

If you are using a Surplus Shed aspherical then I can not guaranty that my bezel will be compatible. I don't own any S.S. asphericals so there is no way for me to even do a fit test. If you are interested in purchasing a lens that will fit with my bezels please use the links provided at the top of the thread.

As for the bare aluminum M.G.A.F.T. the price is $40 payable any time that works best for you.

 

[full-beam]

Nanomiser,

full-beam: Deposit received, thank you :thumbsup:


VidPro: Full payment received, thank you :thumbsup:

 

[tanasit]

I want tail cap, I want tail cap....

 

[Nanomiser]

I know I know, I been slammed at work lately and put some time in to Alan's regulator design. I also own my machinist a good amount of design work; got too much going on right now. :shakehead It's a good thing I like to designs stuff. :naughty:

I did however think a little more about how to implement an adjustable spring for the tailcaps. The conclusion I came to is that for a Mag-C I don't think having an adjustable spring really has a lot of value plus it's not a straight forward design. Can anyone come up with some good reasons to have an adjustable spring in a C Mag?

The Mag-D on the other hand lends itself to being much easier to incorporate an adjustable spring and members are always cramming different battery configurations into a D Mag giving good reason to have adjustability. oo:

 

[Nanomiser]

On the suggestion of a trusted member I have reconsidered offering another group lens buy. However, this added service will have to come with at a price.

I'm willing to purchase a CVI Melles Griot aspherical lens for any member for an additional $5 above retail, per bezel order. Without the purchase of bezel it will cost an addition $20 above the lens retail price.

The first run was a freebie, but based on the amount of time and energy I spent I need to receive some sort of compensation.

Any questions or input?

 

[VidPro]

I'm willing to purchase a CVI Melles Griot aspherical lens for any member for an additional $5 per bezel order. Without the purchase of bezel it will cost an addition $15 above the lens retail price.

that didnt make enough sence, are you saying that for bezel purchacers , you will sell the aspehric lens for only $5 ?? , because the last of the statement says $15 over retail??
is it a glass lens? does it have any coating?

 

[Nanomiser]

In other words a CVI M.G. non-coated aspherical lens will cost $28 + shiping + $5 handling and a coated lens will cost $34 + shipping + $5 handling. The above cost structure only applies to members purchasing bezels.

I am simply adding a $5 handling fee to the purchase & shipping cost of any lens ordered with a bezel and a $20 handling fee to any lens ordered without a bezel.

Please keep in mind that the lens retail price is subject to change at anytime CVI see fit to do so. To receive definitive pricing on lenses please contact CVI using the links provided at the introduction of this thread.

 

[VidPro]

OHHHH, well now that makes sence, for a minute there i thought your were going SurplusShed on us

 

[Nanomiser]

Bezel Availibility Update:

We will start cutting metal on this 2nd run batch tentatively next Saturday 4/25 after which I will need another week to polish, clean and package the bezels. My apologies for this delay, but that's the soonest I could get to them.

I will also be running a small batch of S.S. & aluminum bezels with a standard Maglite face seal o-ring groove that will be completely compatible with both flat lenses and KD aspherical lenses.

Please let me know how many of you are interested in the face seal style bezels so I can run enough to accommodate.

 

[full-beam]

Hi Nanomiser,

I would like to order a CVI Melles Griot P/N LAG-52.0-37.0-C (f.k.a. 01-LAG-123), (coated lens will cost $34 + shipping + $5 handling) to go with my bezel when you complete it in the next week or so.
Please let me know the total incl the balance for my bezel, I am happy to Paypal the total to you as soon as you confirm.

Best regards

 

[JohnTz]

I finally got my light done. Thanks to Icarus for building the incredible host and many thanks to nano for the cool bezel. I don't want to forget to say thanks to fivemega for the tailcap. These bezels are simply spectacular.


Edit...sorry but it seems I am having problems with posting pictures. I will try and figure it out and post them back.
