How much do you know about LED lights? These things are incredible-they use hardly any power, yet kick out a huge amount of light for their size. Also, LEDs are built inside a solid case, which makes them much more durable than incandescent lights and their easily-shattered glass bulbs. And they have a huge lifespan: while the average incandescent bulb may last-at best-50,000 hours before it burns out, an LED can last 100,000 hours or more.This is why it's exciting to manufacturers starting to use this technology in flashlights. How many times have you really needed to use your flashlight, only to find that the batteries are dead or that the bulb is burnt out or broken? Gerber's Infinity Ultra ups the reliability factor with its LED technology that, according to them, will last 100 hours or more on the included AA batteries. This thing is sturdy too-Gerber coats its circuitry with epoxy, which holds everything in place if you drop it or accidentally smack it against a rock. The company claims that the Infinity Ultra is waterproof down to 10 feet. Not having access to 10 feet of water, I filled up my bathtub and dropped it in there for a minute or so. Sure enough, the flashlight still worked, and without any noticeable lack of brilliance. Though the Infinity Ultra's beam is very bright for its size, this is not the best flashlight for navigating unlit country roads at night or for exploring abandoned warehouses. It is perfect for camping, however, where its durability, small size, and light weight make it ideal for hauling in a pack and illuminating a tent. Overall, a great little product from a reliable manufacturer.--Josh Dettweiler What's in the Box

I own the original Infinity Ultra, but it hasn't changed too much since Gerber bought out CMG. The Infinity Ultra has the double bright LED (for the same power consumption), aircraft grade aluminum, waterproofed to 10', and runs for 100 hours on a single AA battery. Gerber has changed it to have a screw on butt style, which I actually don't like as much. The original solid tube style seems much sleeker, but you can still find them without this change by Gerber if this bothers you like it does me.
I run mine on a Lithium battery, which provides an exceptional run-time, storage life and better cold weather capability. I don't use it constantly, so I'm actually still on my first Li Battery which is now over 2 years old - but it has been on for hours at a time while working repairs for my machines or around the house. They aren't kidding about the 100 hours and that's with a standard AA!
The light is very bright, the machined case is well built, yet simple in design. My model has a lanyard hole in the back end and it came with a neck size lanyard - the newer Gerber model comes with a clip that friction mounts to the outside. I prefer the former, but would appreciate the hands-free capabilities of the latter as an option. It's useful as a signal light up to a mile, and has about a 30' throw. It weighs about 2oz. and is about 3.5" long. It has a "circuit boost" technology to make the LED run for a longer time on batteries with a steady output.
I carry this light all the time, but one thing it could use is a nylon belt pouch. It's not too bad in the pocket, but I like to keep it thin if possible. At any rate, I've NEVER had any problems with this light and as a flashlight geek, it stands ahead of most every other light I own. I fully recommend it and hope Gerber continues with the high quality (it appears they are doing just that!)
Simply the best January 30, 2007

Don't get me wrong. I went through two other Gerber flashlights, which both failed very quickly. But that was an earlier version. When they sent the Infinity Ultra to satisfy my warranty claim, I was stunned. It's absolutely terrific. Other reviewers miss one very important fact. This flashlight uses only a single AA battery. Not crappy AAAs, not an expensive lithium. One cheap, small, common AA battery. It takes some smart electronics to pull this off, since AAs only generate 1.5 volts. Normally not enough, to power any LED, but Gerber makes it work. On top of that, the electronics are smart enough to squeeze light out of dead batteries. When my digital cameras have sucked all the life out of a set of AAs, I put them aside for my Gerber Infinity Ultra. What my camera calls a dead battery will power my Gerber flashlight for weeks with daily use. For me, that's an unlimited supply of free batteries. Another reviewer missed one point. If you want it on constantly, you just twist all the way. If you want it on for a second, just push in on the back end. The way it's built, it works like a momentary switch. On for just a second or two, and then off when you let go. This is a practically unbreakable flashlight. You could leave it out in the street for days and it would work weeks later. The dull green coating is durable. I've assumed it was some kind of hardened anodizing. It's excellent. Compare this to another flashlight with special expensive batteries, and maybe you can do better. But out of all the flashlights that take just one AA battery, this is easily the cream of the crop.

Not too powerful but powerful enough to be a good task light. I have smaller and brighter task lights but the construction of this unit (very solid) makes me favor this one over others that I have. This is not intended to be a general purpose flashlight, it works best for working in small confined areas.
 Nice while it lasted. March 14, 2007

"double O-rings; water-sealed circuit board"
Um. I loved this little flashlight and used it at work constantly. For about a week. Then it rained. It hasn't worked since.
Not enough for me February 10, 2008

The body of this light is extremely well constructed. The light is only adequate, not brilliant. But then I have some 5 and 6 Watt LED lights, so my standards are high. I'd say this was a good replacement for a mini Maglight, but there are much better performers these days, some of them made by Gerber. For this price I expect more light these days.
While it is almost a mechanical work of art, the same can't be said for the clip. They should have taken a moment longer to to think about how the clip locates, or doesn't, on the light. A slight indentation would probably have stopped me from losing it...
