So after a long awaited launch, the Lux-RC Minion finally dropped yesterday. Stainless Steel Mule and TIR versions. Around 25 were dropped with more to come in the next few weeks. Anyone here manage to grab one ? I know they sold out super quick, within minutes. Would love to see pics once people have them in hand.

I grabbed one, should ship Wednesday according to Serge. They were $350, or $400 including the necklace/lanyard attachment

Did you guys get the necklace holder? I think the holder is expensive. So much for so little. Does it even come with anything to attach it with? I hope you guys have the time to post a review.

Lux-RC's fit and finish is in its own league so pricing is a little difficult to assess. I however knew I was unlikely to carry the light without the neckalce/lanyard attachment, so I got it. I was disappointed to see that it was an add-on instead of standard though as it completes the look and the usefulness of the light is rather hampered without it.

So....anybody have a mini review or video of their Minion? I have one coming in on Friday that I picked up second hand (as long as shipping holds, fingers crossed), and another that I bought direct from Lux-RC. But I was hoping for a fix before then.

The facebook page is your best bet, lots of information on the light.

Wow $145 for a Saphire window on a Minion Mule? Is it curved? What is the window made from on the standard Minion Mule?

Sapphire crystal is flat with two-sided multilayer AR coating. Quality efficient AR coating is important for sapphire due to its higher refractive index.
As for standard MINION, it's made with optical quality UCL glass. Also AR coated of course.
