Product Description

Infinity Ultra Task Light, White LED, Black Body

Amazon.com Product Review

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

Perfect Task Light - D. Edwards, Apr 28, 2008

First off, it's made by Gerber... no, not the baby food company - the knife/outdoor gear company, and they certainly put out good quality in just about all their products. The flashlight is of an incredibly solid design - if you really wanted to throw it against a wall (for some odd reason) I would give it a 90% chance of sustaining no operational damage. I've dropped it, tossed it, and dropped it again, but it just keeps working. Water proof seal makes it usable underwater - I have tested it. It is brighter than a normal single LED light by far. Clip attaches well to a hat, pocket, belt, or shirt sleeve. Lanyard hole in butt cap is also convenient - tie a leather lanyard to it long enough to fit around your neck or wrist and you'll never drop it as much as I do. All in all, it's a great multi-purpose light that'll suit just about anything. At least try it!

For Its Size - A Serious Flashlight - Stin, Apr 06, 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)

Very Good - D. Phelps, Mar 06, 2008

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.

Tough and bright mini flashlight - Walks Dog at Night, Feb 23, 2008

Bought two of these almost 3 years ago, one was stolen, other I used as a poop scoop light attached on my dog's Flexi leash mini saddlebags(which keep ball and plastic bags)Its been slammed hard on concrete about 15 times, dog is a 20lb terrier with very fast take off time. Aluminum was really scuffed light worked until recently.Beam is good enough for walking at night in city,would make a good backup for camping, but not as main light. Am ordering another. Beautiful machined aluminum. I think these should last many years with normal use. I would say mine was worked really hard.

Powerful little flashlight. - Helpful User, Feb 19, 2008

I originally bought this with the intention of keeping it in the glove box of my car. I decided this based on the reviews of brightness and the claims of excellent battery life. However when the flashlight arrived it was a lot smaller than I anticipated. Now I keep it in my purse for easy access to a light when I need one. It is very bright for its size and I am happy with the purchase.
