Gerber 22-80010 Infinity Ultra LED Task Light, Green

by Gerber

Product Description

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

I am another who has a older infinity.

It's a great utility flashlight

I am looking to get another to have arround. It seems my wife has my old one which we used on a vacation trip to her parrent place by the lake.

Brighter flashlights have there place.

Becasue this is a task light, the power switch is perfect. you don't need to keep turning it on and off, because it runs for so long. Just leave it on while your working on the project. It is much easier to find when you put it down. and it uses a standard battery.

I wear it on a lanyard when I need it.

Great for a 72 hour survival kit. Pocket light, glove box light.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never need to buy batteries! Perfect for a 4 year old who always leaves his flashlight on!, June 7, 2010

This review is from: Gerber 22-80010 Infinity Ultra LED Task Light, Green (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have a four year old son who loves flashlights. He loves them so much he likes to leave them on, sometimes for days on end. I tried a couple of the 3x AAA multiple led cheapies, all of which just seemed to eat batteries and I just got wore out swapping the rechargeables in and out of my charger.

My next thought was to find a flashlight with some form of auto-off mechanism that maybe turned off after several hours of not being moved. Have any of you found anything like this? Not me. I also considered one of the shake or crank models but them seemed too complicated for a 4 year old to manage.

Then I noticed the reviews for this one. 4 year old's favorite color is green. That's good enough for 5 stars in his book but what fascinated me was the reviews that stated that it works well and maintains brightness on old mostly used AA's. I've got several devices that just don't work well on rechargables and eat regular AA's for lunch. Hence, I have a large bag of half (or more) used AA's that register a red or yellow light on my battery tester that have been sitting around for months waiting to get recycled. What a great way to use these up so I wouldn't feel like I was wasting them by recycling them when they still had some life.

So much for that idea! I bought the Gerber, put one of the yellow (proably half used or more) AA's in the light thinking it would last a few days or until the flashight got left on overnight. When he left it on, no biggie, I'd have plenty more batteries where that came from. Three weeks later and the light is going strong. It does not look like this is going to be a solution for using up my old AA's and I'll likely never work my through the bag. But I found the perfect solution for a flashlight for my son.

IF YOU USE AA'S FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT YOU'LL EVER NEED TO BUY A BATTERY FOR THIS FLASHLIGHT.

The light is not good for long distances, but suits my 4 year old just fine for getting around the house at night. It's more than adequate for him to wake us up by shinging it in our eyes in the middle of the night and also works fine for short trips around the block walking the dogs at night. I plan on taking it along as a spare backup emergency light on backpacking trips as well.

This flashlight is remarkable.

Walks Dog at Night (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gerber 22-80010 Infinity Ultra LED Task Light, Green (Tools & Home Improvement)

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.
