KICKSTARTER SUCCESSFUL! 

NOTICE: We are in the process working with PepeTools for the tooling and production of the Halumin-C. By ordering today you are locking in a price lower than the ultimate retail price. This is a pre-order. Your order is anticipated to ship in Q1 of 2027. 

ATTENTION: All images of the Halumin™-C in this listing are of the handmade prototype and not the final production version. Final design may change in appearance but will still incorporate demonstrated features.

Your Coin Photos Are Costing You Money

If you sell coins online, you already know the frustration. You photograph a great coin and suddenly the luster disappears, the slab reflects everything in the room, and the coin looks worse online than it does in hand.

That is exactly why we built the Halumin™-C.

It’s a lighting system designed specifically for coins and small collectibles so you can shoot cleaner photos and better video using the camera you already own — including your phone.

No giant photography setup. No complicated editing. No AI tricks. No ongoing costs. Just real light that helps show the coin the way it actually looks.

Better images help listings stand out, create more buyer interest, reduce hesitation, and ultimately help coins sell faster. If you run eBay listings, dealer inventory, Whatnot streams, Instagram sales, or simply want your collection to finally photograph accurately, Halumin™-C was built for you.

The goal was simple: help capture better-looking coin photos and rotational video without needing a complicated studio setup or expensive camera equipment. Most importantly, it works with the phone already in your pocket. 

Slab Glare Is Brutal

Anyone who photographs coins knows the problem. The coin looks incredible in hand, but once it’s inside a slab, reflections take over and everything becomes harder to photograph. Halumin™-C was specifically designed to make that easier.

Luster and Cartwheels Hide in Bad Light

Without the right light, luster and cartwheels don’t show up — and that perfect lighting isn’t always available. Halumin™-C was designed to create the ideal light for coins that you can use anywhere, so you can easily capture their true luster, beautiful cartwheel effects, and the genuine details that make your coins unique.

Pro Level Pics Almost Anywhere

The portable Halumin™-C simply plugs in and is ready to use almost anywhere. In a bright room, just attach the lid to block out ambient light and let your coin shine. You can remove the lid to shoot smooth videos, making coin swaps fast and effortless. It even works perfectly with copy stands and coin microscopes.

Wheels Up! (For Die-Cast & Small Collectibles Too)

Anyone who collects matchbox cars, die-cast, or other small treasures like watches and artifacts knows the problem. You try photographing a great piece and suddenly the paint looks dull, the chrome blows out, the blister reflects everything, and the details disappear. Halumin™-C fixes that. It’s a lighting system designed to make small collectibles photograph correctly using the camera you already own. No giant setup. No complicated editing. No filters trying to fake detail. Just real light that helps show the paint, the tampos, the wheels, the packaging, and the condition the way collectors actually want to see them. Whether you’re selling on eBay, posting collection videos, documenting rare pieces, or running live sales — better photos create more attention and buyer confidence.

Shot on an iPhone

Most people assume professional coin and collectible photography requires expensive cameras and hours of editing.

The difference is light.

Halumin™-C was designed to help collectors and dealers create clean, true to life, professional-looking photos and videos using simple equipment and intelligently designed lighting. That means less time fighting reflections, less time editing, and a better, honest presentation for your collection or inventory. Because when your photos look better, buyers pay attention.

The Solution: Halumin™-C

As a professional commercial photographer with over 20 years of experience, I kept seeing the same problem — and I finally solved it. I invented the patented Halumin™ Open Cylindrical™ lighting system, then built the Halumin™-C as a compact, purpose-built tool made specifically for coins and small reflective objects.

If you already purchased a Halumin-C Beta version, here are some helpful accessories you may find useful with your Halumin™C. NOTE: We do not sell these directly but we do get a small commission if you use our link.

Key Features:

• Wide patent-pending Open Cylindrical™ halo perfect coverage for raw coins, slabs, and larger items

• Multiple independent lighting controls intuitive and tactile

• Dedicated toned-coin light that beautifully reveals shimmer and color shifts

• Sliding tray for quick coin swaps without removing the lid

• Variable-speed turntable for smooth, hypnotic 360° video clips

• Works with any camera or smartphone plug-and-play, battery compatible

Real Photos and Video. No AI. No Shortcuts.

This isn’t software or generated images. It’s purpose-built hardware that uses real, controllable light to reveal the natural beauty of your treasures in a single exposure.

From Prototype to Production

We introduced the Halumin™-C prototype at the Raleigh Money Expo and the World’s Fair of Money. The response from the coin community was overwhelming. Collectors and dealers told us exactly what they needed — and we listened.

From Kickstarter Success to Your Door: Our Manufacturing Plan

We’ve done the hard part — the design is proven, the prototypes are loved, and the feedback from real collectors and dealers has already shaped the final product.

Now it’s time to build it right.

We have partnered with Pepetools, a highly respected American manufacturer with nearly 30 years of experience producing precision tools for the jewelry and artisan industries. Pepetools will oversee final engineering, tooling, manufacturing, and fulfillment of the Halumin™-C.

Here’s our clear, step-by-step plan once the Kickstarter is successfully funded:

• Finalize Production Engineering — Refine the design for efficient, high-quality manufacturing while keeping every key feature that makes the Halumin™-C special.

• Tooling & Testing — Build production molds and tooling, then produce and rigorously test initial factory samples.

• Full Production Run — Scale manufacturing with Pepetools’ proven quality systems.

• Delivery Target: March 2027 — We aim to begin shipping the first production units to backers in March 2027, with the majority of orders fulfilled shortly after.

We will provide regular, transparent updates throughout the entire process — including photos, videos, and milestone reports — so you always know exactly where the project stands.

This partnership with Pepetools gives us the expertise, quality control, and manufacturing reliability needed to deliver a professional, long-lasting product you can be proud to own and use for years to come.
