Same thing has happened to the small Maglite I bought my wife. Come
back each winter the batts are near dead, or light to dim to be
functional. Finally I purchased and bought two (single AA )Gerber
Infinity Ulta's LED's. They get a lot of use and travel with us when
we go somewhere. I've spoken to some folks and they claim they do not
show the true color of objects they illuminate. Come with a pen light
clip, can clip it to my visor or put in my pocket or where around my
neck. Has a knub at the back where you can hold it between your teeth
if your in a tight spot.. Batts go on forever. Machined from a single
piece of aluminum they're incredibly tough also. I swear by them,
especially with estimated bulb life of 15 years or so.........Doc"

I second your high praise for this tiny but effective flashlight. It and the
Lightwave are my favorites. When I bought it it was marketed by CMG, but
subsequently sold to Gerber. Anyway, the CMG Infinity Ultra is very bright
for a single cell AA, and a huge improvement to the prior model with a lower
wattage led. These lights have sophisticated circuitry that maintains
near-constant brightness for much of the battery life, then goes to a dimmer
"moon mode" that still pumps out somewhat useful light before the battery
must be changed..
