Gerber Infinity Ultra-M

Anyone know about this light? How does it compare to the original infinity ultra by gerber? I mean like brightness, beam profile/throw, tint, etc.

I think some folks have said it's not as bright, but let those who have one give a better answer.

This light must be a joke!

Mil spec version of the infinity.
Hardcoated, double o-ring, potted electronics and receded led to limit the amount of spill to avoid detection in the dark.

I don't have one but I've been thinking of getting a red one for a while now.

This light has a very dim, off center, blue light. Most $1 - $3 keychain lights (or maybe a match) are more useful.

Does the Ultra-M have the same runtime as this one?: http://flashlightreviews.com/reviews/gerber_infinityultra.htm

The Ultra-M has been discussed on CPF before and owners remarked that it has a more narrow beam than the floody civilian counterpart.

I got one many months ago, and didn't like it,at first. It was so dim that i even posted here asking if this was normal or was mine screwed up. Turns out it's normal,for reasons already stated. My problem was i was checking it out with non-dark-adjusted eyes,just closed the bathroom door and said "this sucks".So i put it on my bedside for a midnight bathroom run,and was much more happy with it. In fact, it's what i now regualrly grab for those midnight bathroom runs.
I love the regular infinites,too, and just recently scarfed up a couple of these in red,also ( one for my brother). But, i've yet to tear them out of their packaging and compare them to the "M" version.

Quality isn't nearly as good as the old CMG Infinity. Find one of those if ya can!

I second what others have said. It's made with a military purpose in mind, which doesn't necessarily mesh well with our normal, everyday expectations of a flashlight. A regular Infinity would suit most folks much better than an Ultra-M.

I got one in a combo-pack yesterday. Dead on arrival, could not get it to work no matter what battery I put in. The old infinity Ultra G Govt model I had felt like a lead pipe. This one felt more like Alumn foil. I did like the clip. Waiting for a RMA to send it back along with the three dead Sonics I got in the same shipment.

Not to bash anyone here...but the CMG IU's were a much more solid light. Bright? Nope, but tough as nails. But i bought several of the non-military ones in white and red and toss them all over, nice and simple for non-flashaholics and 1AA can be found anywhere.
