Yes, it is and of course it will have removable bezels.
We will be offering bezels in the following options for now:...
I had thought replacement Al bezels in natural and black would be an ideal seller, since some like the purity of all one metal for concerns of galling... but just occurred to me, I believe the Surefire way, their original intent, was for consumers to toss the entire head and replace. Regardless of Al bezels, can not hardly wait for new replacement Elite heads... smooth ones, please. You all know my beliefs that crenellations are vanity, and are never used for their intended purpose (and we should be thankful for that! how horrible!). Smooth are old-school, and many old flat-sides got dropped with dings and bites out of them. They are not all that easy to find with the smooth bezel, but the crenellated variety are as close to common as E-Series gets. Option for smooth Al natural/black bezels please.
I am not sure I understand the need for a 14500 body. To me, this is strictly for a 1.5V AA battery, the 3.7V option being an exotic thing for showing off an otherwise 1.5v light, in turbo mode.
Agreed, but if a custom body with built-in mcclicky, ala AA Malkoff, and the fit was a lil' wider, 15500, the result would be a light considerably more compact than E2e, and just as bright on 2xCR2 cells (reduced runtime), yet would still accept AA/14500. Now I have written that out... back to entirely agreeing with you. An E body for AA fills such a limited-ideal-use-case gap, it becomes a boutique item. Perhaps that's why SF developed them, and there's prototypes out there, but they never released and sold them. Also, now 18350's have 1100mAh, they blow away 14500's 650mAh capacity in a shorter form factor, if your light use is not so rough that thinner threads in 18350 body would not often break. I must confess, I broke the threads in an 18mm E tube by dropping the light accidentally on concrete a few times in a row in rapid succession. No story, just clumsy.
