  LUX is a dual-phase xenon TPC designed for the direct detection of dark
matter. Using 370 kg of xenon, LUX is capable of setting a WIMP-nucleon cross
section limit at 2 x 10^-46 cm^2 after 300 days of running. LUX will surpass
all existing dark matter limits for WIMP masses above 10 GeV within weeks of
beginning its science run. Following a successful six month surface run, the
detector has recently been deployed underground, and we expect completed
commission in the near future. Updates on status and results are provided.
