But less than a week hanging on my lanyard at work the coating is coming off - wish I had got a metal finish but it was more expensive-?I am very happy with the nib hence buying a mini version of the Lumos which I use at home

I bought a Lumos Mini several months ago to use as my "everyday carry" writing pen. The construction of the pen is so solid and dependable, and the quality of the nibs is untouchable. It's a thrill to see sustainability so beautifully combined with the very best mark-making experience.

I inquired a while back about the detail brush nib, asking if it would be suitable for me, given that my preferred pen for drawing has been a Tombow Fudenosuke (Hard). The Tom's team very honesty and kindly replied that, no, I would probably find it too soft. Since I needed some reservoirs anyway, and because the nibs are so inexpensive, I decided to try my luck and add some detail brush nibs to my order.

My order arrived today, and I was overjoyed that the detail brush nibs were so small. I tested one out, and... wowee, it's wonderful! Yes, they're slightly softer than the Tombow, but not by much, and it just makes for a more expressive line.

I've just purchased another Lumos Mini to be my dedicated forever drawing pen. No more throwing out a big plastic body because the nib has lost its shape or the pen has gone dry.

Thanks so much for creating these great products!

My Lumos Mini ‘out in the wild’. I have several ’Tom’s’ pens…this is by far my fave!

I love writing and I love enhancing the experience with a beautiful pen. I recently purchased the Lumos Mini and the Wren so that I could write and illustrate my haiku journal. I was so impressed that I immediately purchased the Field Mouse. I now have a tiny pen in my pocket to record my tiny poems whenever inspiration strikes.

I thought I wanted a traditional fountain pen with a metal stub-type nib until I was introduced to this beauty, and love the outstanding craftsmanship. This is truly a unique piece and will serve me well for years!

I adore this little pen. No leaks, writes beautifully and easy to fill. And it’s so CUTE!
The matte finish does have a strange texture (for those who are sensitive to that).
I only wish there was an option for a pen clip! This pen is too thick to fit standard elastic pen holders. I’d love a way to clip it to my notebooks. :)
All in all I love this pen and will likely get a full size Lumos in the future.

Absolutely in love with this pen! 5/5 stars! Would definitely recommend.

My brother spoilt me with a lumos pro for Christmas which I cannot rave about enough so I decided to treat myself to an on the go compatible version with the mini. They really are beautiful pens, which are beautifully made.

The full collection of tips, even with the mini was a pleasant surprise.

If I was to pick on (very minor) point, it’s that the lavender colour is more on the silver then purple side but for such a lovely pen to use that’s something I can see past.

I am totally happy with the Loop for my new mini Lumos in Lilac. Now I can hang it on my neck as a functional accessory and won't ever lose it! The Loop and the Grip & Rollstop in Natural Leather are two indispensible accessories I will definitely get whenever I buy a Lumos pen. I hope the complimentary 3ml ink will be in matching colour with the pen. That will add a lot of fun using the pen. I also hope that will be a leather pen case for all the Lumos and The Wren to keep them neat . Thank you Tom, for creating such a beautiful pen.

I received my package of a mini Lumos with its 11 tips and a 3ml bottle of black ink, together with a leather Rollstop, spare ink reservoirs and containers and a sachet of Popcorn Tea yesterday. I had been looking for refillbale fineliners and soft tip brush pens with exchangebale partts for a long time. The Lumos ended my search forever. Its sleek and compact design, its mini size, its beautiful colour are all impressive. More than that is the satisfying writing experience of the tips. The leather rollstop makes holding the pen very comfortable and is a good investment. A larger barrel size to increase comfort of grip will be even better (especially for men's hands). I hope the these mini pens are stackable if there were a adapter for connecting them. Building a longer Lumos (like the Pro version) with 2 mini Lumos of different colours would be fun. I would love to see these pens being used as flourescent markers as well if there were compatible flourescent ink from Tom's Studio and wider chisel tips.

I hope Tom's Studio would have retail shops in Hong Kong (where I live) because shipping charge is very expensive from UK to Hong Kong. Now I want to try the Wren as well knowing that the Write-off Version is anow available. Mix-and-match is fun. Hope there will be pen clips , pen pouches as well as other types of tips for use with the Wren very soon.

Super stylos, j’aime tout! Leurs tailles, les couleurs, les pointes interchangeables. Je suis fan!

I’m super happy with the Lumos Mini it’s a superbly designed and very well made little tool,the box contents are now a part of my everyday carry,this is my first purchase from tom’s studio it certainly won’t be my last.

The texture of the pen really surprised me, it's a grainy like texture when I was expecting something smoother and it's feels very wrong on my finger tips. I'll admit though that it's a really personal feeling and does not reflect on the quality of the pen. That being say, the tip set is incredible and I really like the wide range of writing that it provides. The tips seem to be of a very good quality. I also like that the pen cap can be screwed at the end of the pen but it does leave a hole there when the pen is closed with its cap. The global aesthetic of the pen is nonetheless very pleasing.

i was not prepared for the smoothness of the parts. it is so easy to take the components apart to change writing tips or reservoir, and the cap seals up so precisely. the tips surpass any fineliner i've used (and i have used MANY). the inks are gorgeous. i love this pen so much, i bought another, and am trying to convince a local stationery store to carry tom's studio products.

Bought the Lumos mini as my first purchase for quick writing, sketching and journalling. I'm so happy with it, the ease and fluidity of the writing, the no fail reloading of ink, the inter changeable nibs and brush that's so versatile. I'm now in the process of ordering the Lumos, the original. A pen for all seasons. Thanks for such a clever invention.

I was bought one of these for Christmas in the colour Ivy and it’s stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better pen to go in my art kit.
There I was sat on my sofa Christmas Day doing a quick sketch and trying the chisel tip for writing which you have to excuse as I’m only just learning calligraphy

It lost the Color with touching twice and the customer service is the worst

I have a favourite colour that I like to draw in. I can’t stand black and have searched high and low for something refillable and a please to use. These so far have been that. Modern technology, no spills like with fountain pens (nibs are so scratchy anyway)
And my colour flavour of the month.
I recommend the long barrel over mini for comfort. But start where you can.
Looking forward to Tom adding blue to his range of barrel colours. (My favourite colour esp a royal/navy blue)

Lumos mini became my favorite objet. It’s a pleasure to write and sketch. It writes beautifully.

I adore this pen, it writes beautifully. So smooth! It is a bit short to write with without screwing the cap on the top when you write, but it is a small pen! I got it due to the cost of the bigger ones rather than size, but am now saving up for a full sized one as I can’t imagine using another pen now. I am a pen addict and like to get new pens and often switch several times a day between them, but I’ve honestly not picked up another pen since I got this one. The first fill of ink is still going, I’m amazed as I write a lot. My fingers are getting a little old and I’d quite like a thicker pen if they ever make one for ease of grip, but I think the weight of the brass version might work the same and I like the look of that one best of all. It is on the birthday list!
