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

 Seemed sturdy but Broke after a week July 23, 2010

Title says it all. I really liked the clip so you could put it on the bill of your hat and have an instant headlamp. Not overly bright but good for working when it is dark. But, it broke in a week! I expect a decade of use out of a flashlight, not a week.
 Good, but Much better options are available July 19, 2010

This little light is "good", but there are much better lights in the same class out there.
It is a solidly built casing, but the light is only slightly above average.
The Gerber is way too overpriced for such an average light capability.
If you want something super bright and water-tight, look at the Fenix E01 keychain light.
Also worth looking at is the Streamlight microstream flashlight.
The Streamlight is the best, in class light I have found, to date.
I like it... July 6, 2010

This flashlight is smaller than I thought what makes me like it even more, it can fits into any pocket, the luminosity is very aceptable as it takes only one AA battery, I think is a good deal...
 You'll never need to buy batteries! Perfect for a 4 year old who always leaves his flashlight on! June 7, 2010

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.
durable, compact LED light with no on/off switch June 6, 2010

PROS:
durable
compact
LED light is bright, energy efficient (for long battery life) and shock resistant
CONS:
no on/off switch
no lens cover -- the LED is exposed and thus could be scratched or dirty if exposed to bad weather.
BOTTOM LINE:
i like this light, but the absence of an on/off switch is annoying. i don't like screwing the butt cap in or out to turn it on/off. other than that i have no complaints. i would buy another one if it had an on/off switch.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
the pocket clip is on backwards. if you were to use the pocket clip, the light would be pointing up at your face instead of down toward your feet.
a small pocket case would be a nice accessory to keep it in new condition.
