'''Red Lums''' are collectable shards of energy which appear in several games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], most notably ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They serve to replenish [[Rayman]]'s health. Along with [[Yellow Lum]]s, Red Lums are one of the two major [[Lum]] types featured in the games.

Red Lums take the form of red, glowing orbs.  In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' they resemble red versions of [[Yellow Lum]]s, having the appearance of orbs of red light with wings.

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', they resemble atoms, having a red orb in the centre orbited by smaller red dots. In some instances they appear in their original winged form, such as when they are transformed from [[Black Lums]] using the [[Grimace]] and when they appear in cutscenes. The atom-like appearance recalls the [[Simple Power]]s and [[Double Power]]s from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], which, together with the [[Big Power]]s, were essentially that game's version of Red Lums.

Red Lums are unique in that, if spooked, a Red Lum will undergo a transformation into a [[Black Lum]] – a major part of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s plot.

Red Lums recover [[Rayman]]'s health. In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', if Rayman is injured, nearby Red Lums automatically approach him. [[Robo-Pirate]]s love Red Lums and collect every Red Lum they can find. It seems that the Robo-Pirates actually eat them; when Rayman destroys a Robo-Pirate, Red Lums are often found inside them.

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], a Red Lum completely restores Rayman's health.

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', [[the Glade of Dreams]] is attacked by an army of [[Hoodlum]]s, sack-cloth creatures piloted by [[Black Lum]]s. Each of these Black Lums – including their leader, [[André]] – is a corrupted Red Lum. If Rayman uses the [[Grimace]] on a Black Lum, it will revert back into a Red Lum.

Red Lums appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. In this game, they resemble red [[Ting]]s. They also appear in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', and keep their original ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' design. As in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', the Red Lums in these games restore [[Rayman]]'s health when he collects them. In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Yellow Lum]]s can be exchanged for heart-shaped Red Lums.

In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Admiral Razorbeard]] eats a Red Lum instead of the [[Yellow Lum]] he eats in the other versions, due to there being only 800 [[Yellow Lums]] instead of the usual 1000.
