Light: Peak Rainier 2005 CPF Special
While down in San Diego to see Radiohead, I stayed at Joe's new house. It was partially furnished, about halfway moved into, and the room I took (Rushi's) was filled with boxes and had no lighting. This was still towards the beginning of my light obsession, so all of my stuff was pretty basic, all single level (which is hard for me to comprehend now, how I was ok with that). I was traveling with my main EDC and favorite light of that time, the Peak Rainier 2005 CPF Special. This light was nearly cutting edge for the time. It puts out about 60lm for ~45 minutes while running on an RCR. It uses a nicely tinted Luxeon 3, I think a T bin. This light was an almost two level in that it can be switched to a regular CR and it becomes a long running medium output light, about 10lm for 12 hours before output diminishes. So every night, I retired to my room, switched it to a CR, and tailstanded it on a box to bounce light the room. I'll admit I was kind of glad to not have any lights in there, it was fun getting to "camp out" and make use of my light.
