The MiNi was first introduced in November 2009 with Cree XP-G R5 LED's and was updated to the XP-G S2 in November 2010. These lights are more compact due to the absence of a clicky switch. All are twisty. By default they are 3-mode lights, but if you cycle through the modes twice by twisting the head on and off quickly, it becomes a 7-mode light with the addition of strobe, SOS, and high and low beacon modes. | The MiNi was first introduced in November 2009 with Cree XP-G R5 LED's and was updated to the XP-G S2 in November 2010.

'''MiNi 123''' - 1xCR123A XP-G R5 twisty with output levels of 3, 40, and 189 [[Terminology#OTF|OTF]]. A limited edition neutral white version with a Q3 5A emitter was released in December 2009. A titanium version started shipping in January 2010 (cool or neutral). A limited edition XP-G S2 version, introduced in November 2010, had output levels of lumens 8, 43, and 135 [[ANSI-NEMA FL-1|ANSI]] lumens. In December 2010, a very limited edition (100 units) titanium version with XP-G S3 was introduced (there was no S2 version in titanium) which should have output of 144 ANSI lumens (though it was not tested). Also in December 2010, S3's were put in limited edition satin finish (bead blasted) titanium 123's (also Quark Turbo 123²'s). A version with a Cree XM-L LED (called a '''MiNi X 123''') with 210 OTF lumens of output was announced in December 2010 (their first light to use this LED). In February 2011, a satin finish titanium version with XP-G S2 was introduced. In October 2011 neutral versions of the MiNi 123 and Mini X 123 were introduced. A high CRI version of the MiNi 123 was released in November 2011.
