tldr; 2xAA penlight with classic form factor. 519A or BEAM emitter options. Great for gifting to non-enthusiasts.

Best praise vs top criticism for Convoy T4
βYes and No. Your light probably has bad QC. But the 'buy our batteries!' conspiracy is well alive. [Get yourself a Convoy T4](https://convoylight.com/products/convoy-t4-red-aa-14500-flashlight?data_from=collection_detail) in 519a in a CCT of your choice (5000k is a nice starter) and a body color of your choice and keep using those Lithium AA's. An alkaline can leak and ruin a perfectly good light. If you want something with rechargeable Li-ion cells, get a Convoy T7 in 519a @ 5000k and body color of your choice and add a Vapcell F15 battery and just charge it via USBCβ
