What is the advantage of a crowned bezel over a plain one?

Defensive weapon doubles to collect DNA of an attacker skin, hair, blood. Similar to a tactical pen.

Scalloped also works better for smashing them against other people, esp the face.

The crowned bezel has a strobe feature that the plain light does not have. According to MagLite the crowned bezel light is I believe 10 lumens or so brighter (don't buy for this reason, the numbers are insignificant). The crowned bezel is somewhat sharp and the intention is so that it can be used as a weapon in case you are attacked. That is also why it includes the strobe feature. If you do not plan to use it for defense purposes, I would suggest the plain model because instead of having the strobe feature the plain model has a dim feature which makes more sense. These lights are so bright you absolutely cannot use them at close range without being able to dim them. The crowned bezel has a strobe feature that the plain light does not have.

According to an ad for a similar bezel for a Mag-Lite C/D flashlight you can stand the flashlight on its head and get 'ambient' light shining through the bezel cutouts.

Since I have only used the tinted variety, I don't know the difference in protection. I can only assume the protection is similar.

The only difference is the color. I have a silver faucet mount and i use the white filters. Why, because they are cheaper and you can't even see it underneath.

I think the design, can work well for both. It is both elegant and has a durable look at the same time.

You won't be happy if you want to put 4 of them together to create a quad setup or seamless side-by-side.Otherwise the bezel is pretty decent for this economy model and protects the screen fine.

White, because you can see dirt better, chips, rust, etc. Makes it easier to wash dishes in dim settings, and easier to see that you've gotten the granite ware clean again afterwards. - tkh

I don't think that there are any technical advantages but it looks better and scratches less as the black is a matt plastic type material. I have the black model.

Both are available and have different part numbers. Select antique or polished and compare numbers. I think they are also available in white. They are also available in two sizes.

I have not noticed any effect at all, using the striker bezel. Enjoy your light.

You made me get out my tape measure to check. "Bezel" is 1mm or about a quarter of an inch. There will be a gap between the monitors and screens. I have a dual monitor setup this monitor and an AOC 23" which has a larger bevel. With both of these monitors sitting together touching the gap between visual portions of both screens is 1" and 1 quarter or a little more than 3mm. I don't have any problems at all as a dual monitor setup for my computer but I don't watch movies or videos the full width of both monitors I choose one or the other. If you are sitting far enough back I wouldn't think it would be a big deal, you will get used to whatever setup you have, just don't use the stands that come with it and get one of those multiple monitor stands that allow you to move them around however you want above your desk.

It's a personal pref. Clear will have more glare and will smudge easier, but you can't tell anything is covering the screen (when it's clean). I personally have clear because I wanted the "minimalist" look.

L has a larger collar that is stronger and will hold up better to wear, but once installed sticks out further from the top surface than the K series. K's collar is quite thin, allowing for an almost flush installation. With a little preparation, K is easy to flush mount. In short, L is beefier, K is prettier.

It is really a personal preference. There is no difference besides the casing. I have the silver and love the way they look....

Well, mine is pretty well balanced. There's not much difference between those two, but I like better the flat black finish on the goth.

one of the differences is the design of the helmet and the adjustments especially if you need comfort and if you have a big head. When I was looking at the time I saw the ratings and read the reviews to see which one made more sense. I got this for someone who is a bounty hunter and needed the comfort as well as be able to adjust. Also looking at the price and I went to retailmenot website to get a coupon and saved even more money. As someone told me - you get what you pay for. Also I noticed that amazon sold the extra frame so if it got scratched you can replace it. I don't know if those other helmets had a face replacement if it were to ever get scratched up. I hope this helps.

Having using both with glasses, I would chose the compact. It is rectangular rather than square like the original. Thus you don't have to turn head much to take a look.
