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.

MINION is a custom flashlight which we make and ship from Russia. The production supply is limited by several pieces a week. Each flashlight has unique serial number and most flashlights have unique configuration. You can place your order only if we have a finished flashlight for you.
