This project is over. It's sold out and we do not plan making any more. It was made as the smallest 2400 lumen torch and even now it's still the smallest and brightest flashlight on planet. The first MINION was presented to public in April 2017. The last one was sold out in May 2020. The total number in wild is around 400 pieces. During the production period MINION received several important upgrades. We made T11 custom optics available for it. We replaced mineral glass window with AR coated sapphire crystal. The remaining dozen of MINIONs received our newest 6 LED 372 v2.0 engine. Thanks to everyone who supported this concept. If you're looking for anything similar in LUX-RC family, consider ARTIFACT 2020.

MINION R2
With the second release of this subminiature hyperbright flashlight we're finishing the MINION project. Only 20 items will be made. Nine will take advantage of our proprietary super narrow T11 optics. And eleven MINIONs will have no secondary lens producing the widest ambient beam.
The MINION R2 flashlight became a result of extreme miniaturization of powerful and bright 371D based triple. Being reduced almost to battery size it didn't lose a bit in output, functionality and flexibility. It's an extremely bright triple flashlight that rated up to 2500 lumen was fit into incredibly small and lightweight mirror polished stainless steel body. By default it's equipped with detachable strong magnet lanyard holder to be every-day-carried on a necklace. The new motion sensing UI released in this run makes this twisty flashlight operation almost automatic with no need to twist the head to switch the light off. All TIR MINIONs are now released with our proprietary T11 triple optics for more focused beam with a way improved range and light distribution compared with CARCLO 10507 triples. The optics is protected by very hard and durable sapphire crystal with multilayer AR coating. In addition to TIR version we also offer MULE MINION with no secondary lens for widest beam angle. Strong tailcap magnet will prove useful as a work light to be hung on a steel surface.
