      Hi folks, ive bought "compatible" adapters before, but still had the annoying lightening bolt. Even one that came with the CanaKit! Could someone please direct me to a link to the power adapter for the pi v4?

            @darksavior yes every third party power supply i have tried, has too little voltage.
            Just go with the official power supply.

              Thanks for the input! Now that looks like a real power adapter in the link.

                For my RPI 4B+, I bought this one - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07W6T25Y4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

                It has an on/off switch - which the Canakit adapter didn't have, it is manufactured by a reliable (name brand) company and has great user reviews.
                Since I have used it, I never have the yellow lightening bolt (low voltage warning) show up in Raspberry Pi OS - a problem I was plagued with in my Raspberry Pi 3B+ setup and generic adapter.
