Oh, and bonus info that may have been mentioned, but I haven't seen it here: Infusing a higher power level item into an exotic now slingshots the new power level a bit beyond the item you used for infusion.

I haven't kept up, but I saw some stuff that maybe this depends on the mods applied.

This is true. If you have a +5 light mod, that still applies, but does not affect the base light level. So if I have a 245 item with a +5 mod, it shows as 250. I can infuse a 251 light item and it will be come 256, meaning it's now a 251 + 5 light item. I was confused about this at first, but figured this out when I had a 253 item that could be infused "up" by a 251 item, which was seemingly below the light level already.
