Season 13 light level question
When the season switchs to season 13, does the base light level get raised to 1260 and the pinnacle cap get raised to 1310, or does just the pinnacle cap get raised? Also, can I level to 1300 with powerful drops and then I use pinnacles to get to 1310? I started playing in Beyond Light and I'm still a bit confused on how leveling works.

Yes, you've got it correct, I believe, though I think the base will actually be 1250 instead of 1260.
<1250 - 1250 = basically do anything you want, everything should drop higher
1250 - 1300 = Powerfuls and Pinnacles
1300 - 1310 = Pinnacles (though Powerfuls are still helpful as infusion fodder)
So if you've grinded hard this season, you start a little further into the Powerfuls and Pinnacles arena (1260) for a slight head-start.
You typically don't want to waste materials infusing up your old gear, though - it gets really expensive, really quickly. I'd wait to infuse anything until you're getting 1300 drops, and even then I would only use upgrade modules to go up at least 5-7 levels.
Protip: if you're wanting to infuse something that's still in the world drop loot pool, just wait and keep grinding. It only costs 1K glimmer to infuse the same item into itself.
Infuse using Upgrade Modules = allows you to infuse items of the same slot (Energy, Kinetic, Heavy, etc) into each other. I.e. a 1300 Kinetic Bow into a 1260 Kinetic Hand Cannon
Infuse using Glimmer = allows you to infuse *exact* same items into each other. I.e. a 1300 Gnawing Hunger into a 1260 Gnawing Hunger
This can save you a BUNDLE on resources.
