You may have noticed Lumen has been silent since late Feb. We had big plans for 2020 (didn’t we all!). More in person classes as well as retiring old designs to make room for new blinky bling in kit and jewelry form. But then the global pandemic started and events were postponed. And postponed again. […]
It has only been a month but we have already broken even. Wow! What does that mean, exactly? With all the fees involved selling on Amazon we weren’t sure when sales would cover them plus cost of goods. But we’ve had enough sales in our first month to have a net loss of only $1.24. […]
Lumen Kits are on Amazon! We’ve entered the 20th century! Check them out. And I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but if you have Amazon Prime you get FREE SHIPPING! (Unlike our website.) Why on earth would I tell you that? Because we need reviews, which weigh heavily in the Amazon search algorithms. It’s the […]
We are finally recovered from our first New York Maker Faire, September 23rd and 24th. It was both the best and worst show this year, as only New York can do. I’m going to give a bit more detail than I usually do, in the interests of transparency. Unfortunately it wasn’t all shiny. The Bad […]

You asked for it, we designed it. Ring bases for Lumen jewelry pieces! Did I mention they are 3D printed by Shapeways utilizing nylon selective laser sintering? Ooo, shiny, lasers. Pew Pew Pew! And thats not all, one ring really DOES rule them all! We designed them to be adjustable for a range of sizes. […]
Many customers commented that they felt the Butterfly is a bit large. It has a lot of empty space and was one of our first designs, so it is due for an upgrade. I was still learning how to design circuit boards back then. Recently Marty came up with a new circuit design that has […]
We are excited to start off our show season with Crafstravaganza May 7th at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. Last year was our first time attending and it was lots of fun, stop by and say Hi. Our second May show is the Midwest Solar Expo May 18th-19th at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in downtown […]

Lumen had a great 2015. The highlights for us were definitely the San Mateo CA Maker Faire and GenCon in Indianapolis. We’ll be taking a 3 month break from posting on this blog, facebook, and writing our newsletters. But don’t fret, during this time we’ll still be processing orders through our shop. We will be […]
