It is not desert tan or sand color. These are the closest colors (gradient) i got from my Ps color picker, to represent the actual color of C8+ under white light.
more of K60 maybe?
That just looks like undyed type 3 anodizing, or possibly black with a lot of white light shining on it.
I don’t follow, you’re saying the C8+ is not desert tan or sand color?
(Convoy’s listing shows it’s Desert tan)
Or are you saying this is what the Desert tan C8+ actually looks like under white light?
Or you received one that’s a different color?
Cool tan though! :+1:
In the meantime, encouraged by remarks on BLF that it serves no extra purpose whatsoever 
, I’m addicted and have now received (7 days!) my second sapphire lens, this time for one of my D4 flashlights (with LuxeonV leds). I really think this source sells legid sapphire lenses (at least they pass the drop-of-water test) but I’m not going to check with a hammer how tough they are.

Nice Djozz. Please do a scratch resistant test before you take out the hammer.
Got a Folomov flashlight, can’t wait for the dark to come.
Today one of China’s great mysteries was solved.
I always wondered why budget flashlights were packed in ugly crushed white thin cardboard boxes. I wondered if there was a crushed box manufacturer somewhere.
And look what I got today wrapped in an immense amount of bubble plastic: a pristine non-crushed white box with an X2R inside. That suggests that they actually start uncrushed at some point!!! 
I will will have a custom showcase made for this extreme rare item :party:
Wow ! Was that a standard shipping or did you have to pay DHL + toll Tax to get such a pristine cardboard box ?!
Maybe they prepared to many review samples and you just got one?
And no, there are no crashed box manufacturers. Flashlight makers just buy used boxes. Typically from the lower grades.
HAHAHAHAHA, such a rare sighting!
My first HDS Systems Executive
Wow, never saw one that looks that good!
Good one djozz! I felt the same way when I got my Convoy S2 from RMM a couple weeks ago - it was in great shape compared to the crushed Convoy boxes I’ve received from Simon. Nonetheless, I keep them all for whatever reason.
The X6 hosts I received recently are in untessalated boxes. I can’t remember how they were packed though. Bag/pouch with a ridiculous amount of bubble-wrap, I think.
Congrats on that classic. Want to try one to see if they are really that great, but that prices….
My first Eagletac 
I wanted a D25A for ages, and there’s currently a sale on Nkon.eu for 30€ !
I picked a 219C version, 92CRI at about 4000K I think :
Cool. I had a D25A ti until I demolished it trying to open the head. I love the compactness and design but never liked the UI very much in which the mode group with moon in it needed loosening the head.
While waiting on working up the nerve to explain to the wife why I need to spend too much money on a zebralight I got a few more reasonably priced ones.
Got a Zanflare T1 and 4 Samsung 30Q’s today. This little 350 lumen lantern kicks butt. It’s noticeably brighter than my 300 lumen 3 D cell lantern. I’ll probably give that one away. I’m so impressed with this little lantern, I ordered a second one.
You… make… me… want… one… too…
