I bought a white Infinity for my daughter last year for a birthday and could not resist getting a second for myself. Of course, we live in a place without city lights and so can really test the thing. The original light was OK for getting around the dark woods- but just barely. Didn't compare with my 2 and 3 led conversions. So, I've been playing around with the idea of improving it. Of course, with 2 identical lights, comparisons were quite accurate.
1. First try. Add lithium battery to one light, alkaline to other. This resulted in a slight improvement in output for the lithium.
2. With great effort, I managed to scrape off the anodizing and polish the reflector of one light. This resulted in a slight improvement in light output in the form of a more intense outer circle of light. But, it was hardly worth the effort. And it made the light look crappy
3. Before giving up, I tried putting lithium batteries in both the stock light and in the polished reflector light. I was quite surprised to find that the Infinity with lithiums & polished reflector had a MAJOR improvement in light output over the stock light with lithium bats. Functionality was greatly enhanced. Maybe I'll try and get that reflector more finely polished....?
