Big thanks to /u/FeelgHoodMuzik for the amazing typing tests and photos, u/packman86 and u/plexabyte for the stunning renders featured on the site, and all those friends and supporters who helped make our dream of the Lumina a reality!

Update:
We have some exciting updates for you on the Lumina GB!
We now have an Acrylic base option for the Lumina on our website: https://www.luminakb.com/. It comes in all the same colors as the acrylic plates that we offer, and we also have included aluminum cone feet to boot. Now you can get a flat angle, as well as the original 7 Degree angle, like the other angled bases.
Additionally, with the use of Frosted or Clear acrylic, RGB underglow compatibility has now been added to the Lumina.
Come on over and build your own kit: https://www.luminakb.com/parts-1 while we work on putting together some premade kits!

Additionally, one person, /u/rainb0wbac0n on reddit, has
talked to us about a special color, Cosmos Prima, which is
not currently being offered. We did confirm that if an MOQ
of 25 units were to be reached, we would be able to run it
at the same price point as the Cameo White and similarly
priced options. This color option is the same as in these
renders:

If you are interested in this
colorway, please feel free to fill out this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfotfSZhsGtk8oJQWIZqdOC4BYVSn7-n5He1qbR0ZGwjAOMzQ/viewform
and Let us know!
Just a reminder, the Lumina GB will be closing August 27th, 2018, so you have 11 more days to get your order in!
Let us know if you have any questions!
Update:
Hello all!
Today was scheduled to be the last
day to place orders for the Lumina keyboard. We were
planning on closing the sales, and placing the order.
However, we have received quite a considerable amount of
messages from members of the community, concerning
extensions on the GB period. We want to provide anyone who
wants a Lumina with the time to order one, so we have
decided to fulfill your requests!
We are extending the
GB by another week! The new final date for the Lumina GB is
now September 3rd, 2018.
Additionally, Cosmos Prima is
now available on the store to be purchased by anyone! Cosmos
Prima example
It will be available in the Build Your
Own section of the store, when you choose the corian color
for your top and bottom corian pieces.
The Acrylic Base
option is on the store in the Build your Own kit section,
and we have also put up a premade kit as an example of one
of the many variations you can come up with in the
Build-Your-Own section of the website.
_
The
Acrylic base is an option that not only reduces weight, for
those of you who do not want a 7 pound board to lug around,
but it also reduces the prices. The addition of the acrylic
base brings the price range low to $231 with an acrylic
plate chosen. Come over and check out all the different
color combinations you can come up with, and see how it
affects the pricing!
While we are extending the GB
another week, we will also be taking the time to keep
working on getting the best international pricing for
shipping. Bear with us as we work on getting those numbers,
and once we do we will post them in the next GB update!
Make
sure to get your orders in by then, and let us know if you
have any questions!

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2nd:
Hello all!
Just a
reminder, tomorrow, September 3rd, at 11:59pm EST, we will
officially close the GB, and start production of the Lumina
orders.
Additionally we have prices for shipping for EU
as well as AU.
Because of the variance in weight for
the different bases, there are many variables. The prices of
shipping reflect this, so if you have questions about
shipping for a certain selection of kits/bases, please do
message us, and we will give you a personalized estimate.

thank you for all your support!
Just to reiterate,

if you for some reason did not make it into the
allotted time to order, and you really wanted to, please do
let us know, we will potentially be able to accommodate!
UPDATE:
December 6th
Waldo PCBs have landed, and we are
checking all of them, as well as programming, and arranging
for them to be added to the QMK Configurator:

Production Spec Lumina pieces with all the updated
tolerances are being (allegedly) made, and we will have
pictures up with some of the current batches and colors.

Apologies for the late update, Lumina

Have not been able to visit the Manu for pics this
week or last week, been slammed with work.
UPDATE:
March 5th:
Communication with my current manufacturer
for the most important part of the Lumina, the Corian and
the bases, is horrendous, and I have decided to move
production for the bases to a different manufacturer to
speed things along. I was told that I would have finished
production units by now, but I suspect that the base
manufacturing has not been started yet. For the month or so,
I have been scoping out a new manufacturer for the bases,
and I have samples coming for both brass and aluminum to
make sure that quality is good for this one I have found. I
will be eating the cost for the time being from the Lumina
base order I placed with my current manufacturer in order to
get stuff done faster, as like you all have been waiting, I
have too with this particular manufacturer. If it comes to
it, I will also find a new manufacturer for the Corian, as
big of a loss as it would be.
I’m still actively trying
to get any good news from the current manufacturer, but
regardless of what I hear back, there will be a new
manufacturer for the bases in order to speed up the
production. The new place plans to have samples in my hands
within the next couple of weeks, so I am hoping that is
true, and not all talk like the current manufacturer.
I
do apologize for the delay. Frustration levels are high, and
the GB is long, but I intend to finish it out no matter what
it takes.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t
hesitate to reach out to me on discord @tesletron/#0001 or
on here(although I still suck at geekhack) or by email.
Additionally,
the site has been taken down, and no other orders are being
taken. I will update both here and on discord.
Update
4/15/19
Hey all! An update on the overall Lumina
situation: We have gotten satisfactory samples of both the
Aluminum AND Brass bases (upgraded from Polished Brass to
PVD coated) and the pvd brass plates. Aluminum plates are in
and ready for the anodization process. Both meet our
standards and knowing quality is up to spec, mass production
order is being placed. Linked below are pictures of the
plates and bases. Acrylic Plates and Bases have been QC’d
and are finished. The waldo is now also officially in the
QMK configurator.

Thanks for Reading!
Update 5/6/19
Samples
from new factory came in today, and quality is absolutely
above and beyond what I was expecting. I have tentatively
assembled the board to check fit with the other parts, and
everything is very comfortable and easy to assemble. Corner
Radii fit perfect, threaded inserts are as solid as can be,
and production will now move forward at full throttle. Will
update with lead time this week. Thank you all again for
your patience and support on this project!
Here is an
album of the Cosmos Prima variant with the Brass plate and
weight features:

Update 5/8/19
New samples in with more colors,
update to follow with lead time, in the meantime, here is an
album of the Elderberry, Cosmos Prima, and Red in various
lighting environments.
