Hey fellas! Wow, thanks for all the responses and kind words! I'll answer the questions and comments here some of you had.
First, I removed the crenulations for a couple reasons. Mainly because I just like changing things around on things I have. It kind of gives me another way to enjoy the item and it kinds of makes it my own a little more I guess. I chose the crenulations because I don't really have a need for them. They look great but as some of you mentioned, they are really too smooth for any "defensive" purpose. I'm not looking for that purpose anyway really. I had never thought of the idea of turning the light on very low and putting it face down on a bedside table and the light coming through the crenulations would allow you to find it at night. I have to get up once or twice a night and this would have been very helpful. Thanks for the idea! I have a couple ideas to modify the bezel further that would allow this idea to still work.
I am really liking the mirror finish so far. As was mentioned, it is a lot slipperier but there is so much nice texture on the rest of the light it hasn't seemed to matter so far. Mentioned was the loss of the Serial Number, I tried to save it and the HDC brand but it came off very quickly unfortunately. Someone mentioned a stonewashed finish. I hadn't even thought of that, great idea thanks! Oh, and Mr. NBP mentioned a batch of factory smooth bezels. I found just a couple of photos of what look like factory smooth bezels, but didn't find any real information on them.
As to any concern over the lens being less protected from falls, I guess it is more exposed and closer to the ground than with the crenulations but I'm not really that concerned. HDC puts a nice big chunk of steel on the bezel and there is still a big chunk left, and they give that nice big thick lens too so I'm not terribly concerned.
I'll put up some photos of the bezel on the rest of the light so you can get the full picture. Trying to find my daughter's real camera for better pics but I'll post some tomorrow either way for those who asked.
Thanks again for all responses. I got some great new ideas.
And thanks to HDC and everyone making this great light!
