My T4 came today, and I am beyond excited. Like a lot of us with fond memories of the late 1900s, I have a special place in my heart for the old Mini Mags from Maglite. It was mostly the way they felt in the hand; the weight (and where it was centered) just made them feel "correct" somehow. But even as a kid I remember them as being underpowered, and also I'm not a huge fan of twisties. I kinda of forgot about them over the years, as LEDs became common, and when I needed a flashlight as an adult and found this sub, Maglite kinda ceased to exist in my mind.
So when I discovered the Convoy T4 a couple years ago I was understandably excited. But the driver they used and the selection of emitters just really didnt strike me as impressive, and for every practical reason an 18650 light is just superior. But then came the 5amp driver, and suddenly it became more appealing. I hesitated, but finally I pulled the trigger on ordering one, and I am so glad I did.
Finally, a piece of modernized tech that actually offers an improvement on something I remember from my childhood in the 90's. It has that same weight, has a tail switch, and no adjustable focus! It just "feels" like I'm holding a piece of 1998, if that makes any sense to anyone, and if I could replicate this feeling with all new stuff I buy I would. Next, im going to get one with the sft25r so that I can pretend it's a lightsaber like I did when I was a kid, because I just realized how much fun that would be as an adult, and I don't think anyone can legally stop me from doing so. Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to embarrass myself.
