Gerber 22-80012 Infinity Ultra Task LED Flashlight, Black

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

This light is a great general use light. I like the fact that it is small, rugged, and has long life on a single AA. Does not throw very far and has a blueish, almost purple tint to it. Not very bright in most lighting situations. Great for general use and fairly bright on dark nights.

Others have noted the blue spot in the middle of the beam, it's almost purple on mine; slightly annoying, but not the end of the world. Very nicely machined, smooth finish, rock solid. Far superior quality to my Ultrafire C3 (1xAA) which failed completely in a few weeks. AA's are cheap and readily available. On-off twist takes 2 hands, but simple and reliable. Exlnt value for $$. Overall highly recommend, would buy again; in fact, will probably buy a couple more.

I walk my two dogs early every morning, usually before sun up, and this light is with me every day. It is easy to use, simply twist to turn on/off, and has good heft. Since I have to control two dogs while using it, it is important that it is easy to hold and totally reliable. I use it for one or two minutes at a time, virtually every day, and am very impressed at how long the single AA battery lasts--I have have been using it continuously for several years. I also own Fenix, Streamlight, Princeton Tec, and LED Lenser lights, but the Gerber beats them all in this particular day to day use.

This little light is of very good quality, and I was suprised at the area of coverage of the beam! It does not set the night on fire, but at a normal operating range within several feet, it casts a wide "moon-light" circle of very usable and pleasant light for pretty much what you would need it for.
In total darkness, the light actually illuminates a whole (household) room! I believe everyone could definately benefit from one (or more) of these!

First time I used it I knocked it off my cap bill and it fell 4 feet onto some loose gravel and went out and no amount of shaking and twisting would get it back on again. I was pissed that it was so fragile and was all set to return it and write up a bad review when I thought to try another battery first and it blinked right back on. It was the energizer battery that had somehow broken from that little bump. I'm sticking to rayovacs now.
That aside, it's a good little light; I was out building a buddy's deck until well after dark when I decided I needed something like this and the tasklight is made for just that sort of thing with a bright, broad beam and a handy cap-bill clip. It's now a permanent pocket resident and it shows no desire to escape like those little micro-maglites always do or turn itself on like every push-button light I ever had has done.
Note: To clear up confusion from old reviews, there's only one way to turn the lite on and off now and that's by twisting the end cap.
