Amazon.com Product Description
LED lights are incredible-they use hardly any power, yet kick out a huge amount of light for their size. They're reliable too, as the LEDs themselves are built inside a solid case, making them more durable than incandescent lights with their easily-shattered glass bulbs. And consider this: while the average incandescent bulb may last 50,000 hours-at best-before it burns out, an LED can last 100,000 hours or more.Like many other manufacturers, Gerber has started offering a line of LED flashlights, including the Infinity Ultra Task. In addition to the durability and longevity you get via the LED bulbs, this little light features epoxy-coated circuitry, which means its insides won't fall to pieces if you drop it or accidentally smack it against a rock. According to the manufacturer, the Infinity Ultra is waterproof down to 10 feet, too. 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-in these cases you'd want more than the 30-foot beam you get with this light. 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. Includes one AA battery.--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!)

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.

It's bright and has a tightly focused beam (great for making shadow pictures
if you have children). It takes one AA battery (which you can easily find, not
some obscure $25 hearing aid battery). If you take off the clip it fits in your
pocket with your keys. Only downside is that the black coating does seem to
rub off. I don't know where it went -- I suppose the washing machine -- but
after a few years of carrying it around you'll end up with a dull metallic-finish
flashlight instead of a black one. Doesn't affect the function (I actually think
it looks better). Great light.

This product is a very nice task light. The beam throws about 20-30 feet and seems very bright. The color is very white. It has a great bright spot in the middle with a decent flood area.
Build quality seems excellent.
The size is perfect for every day carry without being known as the utility belt guy.
It will not replace your 4 D-Cell Maglite if you want to light up something a block away but for close tasks or finding your way in a dark area it is great.
Would buy again in a second.
07.12.08 - well, I lost it so I'm buying it again. In a second. :(
For Its Size - A Serious Flashlight April 6, 2008

For a single LED flashlight this item is BRIGHT.
It is very well made and for its size is a substantial item.
The knurled tail cap is the twist on/off switch.
This item lacks a momentary switch but if the tail switch is set to a position where the light is just off then the tail cap can be pressed to act as a momentary switch.
It has a hole in the tail cap to attach a lanyard and the pocket clip will attach to the bill of a baseball cap for hands free operation.
At the center it will project a bright white (slightly bluish) beam of light for over 30 feet.
It also projects a softer circle of light (navigation beam) to illuminate the adjacent area.
The LED itself is not covered by a lens but recessed and somewhat protected.
The area around the LED is not polished but this does not appear to impede the performance.
Excellent quality, great performance, no need for a special battery (It operates on a single AA battery)
