(*PATENT PENDING)
Too many pens and their refills are disposable by design. Similar to printer ink cartridges, pen companies want you to buy into their format so that they can keep selling you replacement pens or refills over and over again. It's good for their business, but it's bad for the planet and stifles creativity.
"It is brilliant: Beautiful, the perfect weight, a range of nibs, satiny ink. The drawing (almost) does its self."
David Downton - (one of the world’s leading fashion artists)
As a product designer and craftsman who loves using a variety of pens to create illustrations and designs, I had this very problem! Pens would sit in my drawer for years, either patiently waiting for that very specific refill, or I was just loathed to dispose of an otherwise fully functional pen that had run out of ink.
Having designed and handmade calligraphy and fountain pens for creative folks across the world full time for over 6 years, I decided it was time to apply my knowledge to the pen I used most of all and one of the biggest culprits when it came its disposable nature: the fineliner.

Full FAQs can be found here
What ink can I use?
- All nibs will work with all but the most experimental fountain pen inks (think shimmer + iridescent). I've tried a LOT and I'm yet to find one that doesn't work well. I'd encourage you to experiment and find the inks that work best for you!
Pigment Ink for fountain pens can be found here.
Calligraphy Ink has an acrylic binder which will block the Pen
What are the differences between the Duo and the Single Lumos?
The Duo Lumos allows you to have two different pens in one body, allowing you to easily change between nibs and ink colours on either side.
The Single Lumos has one tip and one ink reservoir which is double the Duo's reservoir size.
What's the difference between the Lumos and other refillable technical pens? (E.g. Rotring Isograph and Copic Multiliner).

Customer Reviews
The nice things about the pens is that you can replace the nib and mix your own colours.
It's incredibly versatile. I love it!
I Was looking forward to using this pen and it didn’t disappoint . Great selection of tips available and I chose 0.2 and the brush tips. Great starter selection however I could do with another for 0.5 and 1.0
I loved the pen! is very easy to use and the exchangeble tips make it very nice to work with as it can suit your needs perfectly, besides, it's really pretty even with the siple design, and I really like how easy it is to refill and to chanje the ink. I have never been more exited for a metal tube before in my life. Greate pen!
Love the cleaver idea of this pen, allowing me to use any fountain pen ink I want with interchangeable tips, and reusable parts, all executed with excellent craftsmanship. Beavo!
I really enjoy using this pen to write, the only thing that is really annoying is that you have to unscrew the cap to use it, so if you write something down you have to unscrew the cap, write and then rescrew the cap back on every time. I tried leaving it unscrewed while i did something and when i went to use the pen it was dry so i had to reink the pen and it just gets old quick. Love this pen just wish i didnt have to unscrew the cap to use it.

Tip, Top, Tips
Japan is where the best technical pens are made. I was never going to be able to design anything that came close to the precision and decades of perfectionism of a Japanese-made nib. So I designed the Lumos around them, with 9 sizes and types you are sure to find the ones to perfectly suit your style.
Reduce, Reuse, Refill
It's always seemed crazy to me to have to dispose of an otherwise amazing pen, just because it has run out of ink! With it's interchangeable ink reservoir the Lumos allows you to easily refill with your ink colour of choice. You'll also never have to buy another pen again! No more refills, No more waste
Power Couple
As a designer, I am always reaching for at least two pens to highlight or add details in different styles to my work. Different pen styles offer different functions, whether that's accentuating detail in a drawing, changing between line weights, or just doodling for the fun of it I wanted to create a pen that you could use for a variety of tasks and that you could truly customise to the way you work.
