Gerber 22 80010 Infinity Ultra LED Task Light Green
Gerber 22 80010 Infinity Ultra LED Task Light Green
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

5 Stars Great Quality

5 Stars Gerber Light
This little LED is a great one. As with all LED lights, the flashlight is very bright, and will not use up batteries quickly. It’s small enough to easily fit in a pocket, throws a lot of usable light, seems very rugged and well made.
5 Stars Well worth the money
This light is the best money I’ve ever spent on a flashlight. I’ve owned it over two years now, and it’s fantastic for what it’s designed for. No, it won’t replace a big light when that’s what you need. But as a task light or for travel, going down a dark path or carrying in your purse or pocket, it just can’t be beat.
Believe me, I tried. I bought a bunch of cheaper small LED lights. Probably spent over $30 total on them. After a few weeks, they all failed — mostly in the switches. I finally broke down and spent the money for two of these when my husband and I were going on a 60-night tent camping trip. It seemed ridiculous to spend this much on such a small flashlight. In the long run, they’ve been the cheapest flashlights we’ve owned — we haven’t had to replace them, and they don’t drain batteries.
These lights still work perfectly after more than two years. That’s important, because when I need a flashlight, I need it to work. And these are the perfect size to keep at hand — you can stick it in your pocket, purse, glove compartment, camera case or hang it around your neck. AND they give off good light — plenty to see the ground ahead of you, change a tire, read a map, find a favorite toy under the car seat, remove a splinter from your husband’s hand, set up a tent, check the coffee water to see if it’s boiling.
If you use a lithium battery in it, it lasts forever. Remember that 60-night camping trip? I used one battery through that whole trip PLUS several shorter trips and other miscellaneous times around the house. It was over a year before I replaced the battery.
I’ve now bought several more to give as gifts.
5 Stars Great Little Task Light
This is a great little minimalist task light. It fits in the palm of your hand and provides enough light see what you are doing. The base screw-in is the “on/off” switch, which means there are no buttons to break. In addition, if you loosen the base just past the point the light goes off, you can press on the base to turn it on/off without having to twist. The build quality seems excellent and it isn’t too heavy.
5 Stars Great Headlight
This little flashlight works better than expected. I do alot of work in crawlspaces and attics’ as well as needing to see behind entertainment centers, couches, ect. This flashlight is small enough to fit in my front pocket so i have it anywhere and the clip it comes with slides over the bill of my ball cap or hard hat and stays in place. INSTANT HEADLIGHT. It provides enough light for me to do what i gotta do and keeps my hands free to do my job. It’s more convenient than the company provided headlamp or any other headlamp i’ve used and keeps me from having to carry a headlamp and another flashlight. If you’re looking for something to light up a whole room, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for something to light your immediate area and small enough to carry anywhere, this light will work perfectly.
