Don't know of anyone who has one of these except Craig of Ledmuseum and myself so this may be of limited interest, but...
Infiniton is bright but heavy and uses C cells which nothing else I have does. I noticed that the measured current draw of the light is 564 MA, well within the capacity of an AA Nimh, so...
I found that PVC sprinkler rising tubing (the kind which looks like a bunch of tapered threaded sections stacked end to end) exactly holds AA cells. I cut a length to hold 3 AAs and wrapped strips of corrugated board to the ends outside so it just fits the 3xC cell battery tube of the Infiniton.
I now run the light on 3 AA nimh's. It is just as bright (800+ cD by my light meter) and weighs 5 ounces less than with C cells (12.7 oz vs. 16.5).
Haven't tested run time yet, but I expect 2 maybe 3 hours with the AAs, vs. 8 with alkaline C"s.
Much more useful now..
