Luminous, one of the biggest manufacturers of power-backup products in India has revamped its Home Inverter models and introduced new models with some smart features to compete with other leading inverter manufacturers like Su-kam and Microtek.
Inverter with Digital Display – How useful it is?
One smart feature, Luminous has introduced in its new model ‘ZELIO INVERTER’ is Smart digital display to monitor the battery charge status and most importantly the battery backup time in hours and minutes.
With this facility, we can easily manage and preplan our power backup requirements during Heavy power shedding. The inverter shows a rough estimation of remaining time of battery power while in battery mode.
As I already said, the estimation is based on the load on inverter and battery charge status. Any how we can’t expect it to be so accurate and precise. It is just a reminder to reduce the load on inverter to stretch the battery backup time during long power cuts.
Better Battery management
Luminous claims that the new ‘ZELIO Inverter’ model has been optimized to prolong the battery life with smart charging technology and advanced battery management technology.
They also claim that their new technology improves the battery life up to 70%, but we have no proof and we have no comments.
Back Panel of Luminous Zelio Inverter – An overview
Nothing New, except the battery water level sensor,
Battery water level sensor
The inverter has a provision to connect a battery water level sensor to monitor and remind the user to top up the battery with distilled water whenever needed. But the sensor wire is not supplied with inverter, need to buy it separately which most users don’t 🙁
———————————————————————-
Battery charge selection switch
The inverter has a battery selection switch on its back panel,
T – Means Tubular Battery
F – Means Flat Plate Normal battery
S –Means SMF battery (sealed maintenance free)
You need to select the right mode according to the type of battery you use.
Luminous Eco Volt Inverter (another new model from luminous) has four modes for battery charge selection whereas the Zelio inverter model has only three. But the fourth mode is for local battery, which is not a big deal. Let us ignore it.
———————————————————————–
ECO Mode – UPS Mode selection switch
This switch is also a very common switch which can be found in most other inverters.
Usually in other inverter, we see it as
Normal Mode – UPS mode
In this Zelio inverter, they have just renamed the normal mode into Eco mode.
If you plan to connect your desktop PC or any other equipment which need uninterrupted power supply (to avoid restart problem during power cuts), use your Zelio inverter in ‘UPS’ mode.
Otherwise, it is always safe to use it in Eco mode.
In Eco mode, your inverter charges the battery even in very low voltage.
In UPS Mode, your inverter runs in battery whenever the power supply from grid goes below 180 V or above 260 V.
Use UPS mode, only if you connect your Desktop PC (without normal computer UPS) to zelio inverter.
————————————————————-
MCB to safeguard your Inverter and other gadgets
Luminous Zelio comes with a MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) to safeguard your inverter from high current.
Most other inverters in the market have only replaceable fuses at back panel to protect it from high current and over load.
If you connect any heavy load (higher than the inverter rating) to inverter line in battery mode, MCB trips instantly to protect it from internal component damage.
You can set it back to normal position after fixing the problem that triggered the MCB to trip.
MCB protects your gadgets connected to inverter line in case of any fault in electric line or over current.
MCB is very sensitive and reliable compared to replaceable fuses.

It takes heavy loads like kitchen mixer and water pumps effortlessly, thanks to 32bit DSP microprocessor and heavy load bearing components.
Digital display is helpful but needs improvement.
At this Price Range (Rs.4500 to 4850) it’s a good buy! Don’t pay more than 5k for this.
Hi,
Thank you, for sharing ur knowledge regarding inverters and batteries. it helps a lot.
i had a terrible experience with luminous 800va sine wave inverter service today!! my inverter wasn’t working, and my dealer sent me the so called service engineer. Service engineer had come without his identity card, he just opened inverter and straightway said PCB is dead.. without any investigation.. not even used basic meter to check whats wrong. he said PCB has to be replaced, charges is 950 for Replacement( replacing my PCB with REPAIRED PCB, not a BRAND NEW) when asked for brand new, he started saying new PCB cost 3000. Finally, he dint give bill also… he said for billing i can call customer care log complaint, only then he will come and repair and give bill!! BLODY cheaters.. !!! Guys pls be aware of such Corrupt service guys!! i had no other way coz my parents were not in a condition to wait for more time to get repaired. and they trusted service engineer, coz he was sent by Dealer!!! Admin, pls share some info regarding part numbers of PCB of all inverters so that we can buy directly and get it replaced by ourself!!
Approved

Hi Admin,
I’m planning to buy inverter to my 3 Bed room apartments chennai, when i approved interver seller, the marketing manager suggest me to buy luminous inverter 900va = Rs 5,000.00 & 150Ah exide bed tubular = Rs 12250.00 with free of installation too. i don’t have any idea about this. is this combination good? and how about this price? and if you know any other brand, pls suggest me.. thanks
Dear webspicer,
Price of short tubular 150 ah battery should be
around Rs.10500/-
Otherwise it is OK.
thanks Admin.. but, i just changed battery model INVA TUBULAR IT500 and price will be 15,250.00. because of warranty cover 48 months. is it good price?
Dear Arulnath,
We want to make it clear that all leading inverter
manufacturers including Luminous, Su-kam and microtek are using only aluminum coil in their transformers, no body is using copper coils now.
Using Aluminum coils in the transformers is not a bad thing, the way they produce it matters.
It is the inverter dealers, who creates false impression about aluminum coils in modern inverters.
To break this myth, su-kam provides 7 years warranty for its transformer. I think this is the best in class warranty in this segment.
Don’t believe the rudimentary comments of inverter dealers.

Thank you for your inputs.
sir, can i use automotive battery 150ah for zeilo 900va inverter?
please suggest
Dear Jagannath, A deep cycle batteries would be better for regular use with zelio inverter.
In case you are in tight budget, then you can go for automobile battery.
Sir , I want to buy pure sine wave inverter with Exide it 500 battery. Please suggest which is better luminous zelio 1100 va or Sukam falcon plus 1050va?
Dear Gurpreet Singh,
IT500 is a premium tall tubular battery. It will perform well
under any tough condition. But it is expensive too.
As far as Inverter is concerned, i would recommend Sukam falcon plus for IT500 Exide tall tubular battery.
Our Lab results shows clearly that Falcon plus is way better than Luminous Zelio in various aspects, But Falcon plus is expensive than Luminous Zelio.
Hi, I am confused between Luminous Zelio 900va vs Microtek Hybrid HB950, which should I buy? Some dealers telling that HB950 is not a pure sine wave inverter rather a modified one. I am buying Exide IT 500 150ah battery for my new flat, could you please suggest me which inverter I should buy for it zelio 900va, HB950 or any other? Thanks.
Dear Gaurav,
For a premium tall tubular battery like Exide IT500, we
would strongly recommend Sukam Falcon Plus Inverter
It has the most advanced facilities like automatic temperature control and many more things which enhances your battery life, but it is little expensive compared to Luminous zelio.
If sukam falcon plus is not available in your area, then out second choice would be Luminous zelio.
Thanks for your reply. I inquired about Sukam Falcon+, it is not available here in Pune with any of the dealers. I can buy it online from Snapdeal “SuKam Falcon+ 1050Va” but it is costing 6000 INR, is it ok price for this model, any better deal available? Zelio 900va is costing 4400 INR, I can ignore 1600 Rs. difference if it comparatively increases the life of 16000 Rs battery. Thanks.
I am sure about that particular model sukam falcon plus, it will improve battery life and most advanced model available in market now.
If you are going for any medium range battery, luminous zelio is good enough for your requirement. Cost is also very low compared to falcon plus.
Buy 6k for falcon plus is really worth it.
admin, im confused between luminous eco volt 900va and zelio 900 va please … help me out
Luminous zelio has lcd display, which helps monitor the inverter performance and battery state.
Price is also very much competitive.
Good to go!
when i went to purchase zelio 900va with 150 ah inverlast battery the dealer said you should take 180 ah price difference is less only and 180 ah will last longer
admin is that true ? which one is a better combination please guide me….
If your dealer is offering best price for 180 ah, then we would recommend it, no problem. You could get some extra backup.
Hello Admin,
I have a Zelio 900VA currently connected to a 120ah APC battery. I am thinking of replacing the battery since the battery is close to 4 years old. Can I connect a 180ah or 200ah battery to the Zelio 900VA to get a longer backup?
Upto 180ah is recommended 🙂
Hello Admin ,
I want to run 1 desktop which has 500 watt smps, 2 20″ led monitors,1 Modem, 2 fan , 1 tubelight ,. Backup time 3-4 hrs, your recommendation pls.
Dear Ramesh Kapoor,
For your load preference, we would like to recommend
Luminous eco volt 900 va or
Sukam falcon plus 1050 VA
with
Exide 180 ah inva master tall tubular battery.
ok , in previous requirement if i add 1 22” led tv & set top box & reduce 1 fan than sukam falcon 1050 or 1100 ( depending on availability in my town) with exide IT 500 tall tub 150ah will handle it. or i have to go for 1500 va with double battery?
No problem, it will handle it.
Thank you for the review.
I have a question on the Mains MCB. What is the function of the Mains MCB? Is this for overload protection in input (mains) or output (inverter)?
I already have a Luminous Eco Volt 1650 with a Mains MCB. When the power is off (in inverter mode) the inverter resets with an overload alarm whenever I exceed the load limit (for e.g. switching on a geyser). This is as expected and in this case the Mains MCB does not trip.
However when I switch on 2 geysers simultaneously when the power is on (not in inverter mode) the inverter Mains MCB trips off. This is very inconvenient as each time we have to switch off one of the appliances and then reset the inverter.
When I spoke to the Luminous guys they said this cannot be fixed. They said any overload in the main line will cause the inverter Mains MCB to trip.
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards.
Hello admin,
I have yesterday bought luminous zelio 1100 va and got install by technician suggested by store owner. I see since yesterday LCD screen is showing 0H5M. Its not going up or down. Since yesterday evening till today morning there has been no power cut. Is there any problem with inverter? Please help
I was facing the same issue. Check the following:
1. The switch to select battery type (Tub, Flt, Smf) is on correct position as per your battery specifications.
2. If it is already on correct position, just move it to some other position and bring back to correct position.
This solved the problem for me.
I recently purchased zelio 1100. The fan is making noise when charging the battery. Is it normal?
Dear Pankaj,
No it is not normal. You need to call your dealer to check the inverter.
Hi, I have also purchased the same model one week bellow & facing the same problem. Fan makes noise. Is there any solution?
I am facing same issue. Is it fixed by dealer? If so, what was the issue?
completely replaced by company, now feeling relaxed 🙂
My inverter luminous zelio 900va is not working?
Symptom: It is charging the battery but inverter function not working. what could be the reason. i have checked inside 40A fuses and they are good. It is able charge battery as it displays battery level and charging. Even by pass switch and MCB is proper nothing blown and there is nothing burnt on PCB. only before it is failing it made some kind of sound that is like switching relays but it is not exactly that sound.
any body faced this problem. please let me know if any body has solution or trouble shooting tips. in the mean time i have lodged complaint in luminous care still i have to wait for service guy.
Hi Admin,
Im thinking on buying inverter and batter for my home. When I checked for zelio models, I found two models 1100 and 1700. Im thinking on buying zelio 1700. But I dunno wulhich one to choose. Mine is a joint family, so there will be heavy usage from inverter.
Is 1700 right choice. If so which battery I need to buy for this?
could you please guide me on this?
1100VA can run up to 5 fans, 6 lights/cfl and 1 lcd/led TV during power cut. The maximum power output of Luminous Zelio 1100VA is 720 watts.
One 12V Battery Recommended Capacity: 100AH – 200AH (Flat Plate/Tall Tubular/Both).
1700VA requires 2 Battery. so based on your budget and requirement you can decide.
Thanks Shiv. Then I will go for 1100. Where I can buy batteries online? Do you know any trusted retailer/sellers online?
I think snapdeal has lowest price. Amaron 150ah Tall tubular battery low maintenance. But available at certain locations. Apply pincode and check delivery. Or else contact local dealer. Also Check different websites which have good reviews.
WIll this one suit – http://www.ebay.in/itm/Exide-Tube-Master-150AH-Tall-Tubular-Battery-Brand-New-36-Months-warranty-/121832593722?hash=item1c5dc9d93a:g:AY0AAOSwNSxVYXiR I dunno about MRP of these batteries. Is this battery worth buying with 2k discount for zelio 1100?
Sorry to disturb you continuously, just dunno anything about inverter and batteries.
It has first 18 months replacement and next 18 months pro-rata means after 18 months you will not replacement but you can buy new battery at discount on returning the existing battery iff it failed to give back up. I suggest go for 48 months warranty. Amaron batteries cost less than exide for 48 months warranty battery. Again here 48 means 24 replacement + 24 pro-rata warranty. Or it may be 36+12 month is case of amaron 36 month replacement warranty. Check specifications properly it doesn’t apply to all models. Better visit local dealer and warranty details for different models or you can do online also but all model details not available online. I suggest amaron, 2nd choice exide. Both are good battery. Don’t go for local brands
Hello Admin,
Im thinking to install solar power system for my house. I have gone through some of the site and finalized some the items for installation. could you please cross check whether these product will match each other during Installation.
1. Solar Panel = 150watts * 8nos (I have to go for 12volts or 24 volts)
2. Solar charge controller – 24V, 30Amps
3. solar Hybird inverter – 1.5KVA
4. Exide batteries – 150ah – 2nos
Do we get combination of item no 2 & 3 in market, if yes then which product ?
Incase if i increase the nos of solar panels another 4nos of same watts whether item no 2 & 3 has to be changed. If yes then which product?
I hear Zelio 1100 having LCD Problem ? is it true ? I am planning to go for the EchoVolt 1050 + Luminous 150 AH Battery in 15 K ? Is is good Price ? or i should go for the Zelio 1100 and Exide Inva Red 5 150AH ?
Hi Admin, I bought a luminious zelio1700 V inverter through online. but after that I realised it will run only with 2 battries. and I cannot afford buying 2 batteries. is it true than it will nor function with single battery? i mean tubular battery? please suggest what are the alternatives. thanks in advance
Dear Robin Thomas,
You should have verified the details before you buy 24 volt
inverter.
No Problem,
instead of buying one 150 ah tall tubular battery, you should go for Two Luminous LT300 model 80 ah Tubular battery.
One Luminous LT300 Tubular 80 ah battery would cost around Rs.6800 in local market.
Remember to keep the charge current settings normal.
Hope this helps.
There is no use with lcd display in zelio. It will always show you unrealiatic data and confuse you.
But the inverter is great
Better battery management
Low self consumption
Reasonable price
Just go for it.
Dear admin, plz advise whether sukam falcon plus 1100 is it better than luminous zelio 1100 va
We recommend luminous zelio 1100.
Why do you want to spend extra 1k for falcon +
Hi Admin,
Which Inverter is better “Zelio Pure Sine Wave 12V/ 1100VA” or eco volt. and would like to know why. In some of the posts you suggested eco volt, so i am confused which one to buy.
Dear Manoj,
Digital display in zelio will not show pricise information, but still the inverter is good in terms of battery charging and backup.
Hi Admin,
Your site is a valuable resource for information on inverters.I have purchased Luminous Zelio 1700 Pure SIne Wave inverter.Can i use 2*150AH Inva Tubular batteries along with this inverter?If so, what will be the time taken to charge these batteries?Also will i see a huge increase in electricity bills if I use this combination of inverter and Battery?
Dear Raj Sahoo,
Yes, you can use two 150 Ah batteries with zelio 1700 inverter.
It would take 4 to 6 hours time to full charge the batteries according to your battery type and battery charge mode you use.
All inverters will consume some current even in idle state, but it is very minimal like using a cfl lamp all day.
Only Little impact in your electric bill.
Hi Admin,
Thank you for you reply.Iam going to purchase 2 *150AH inva tubular batteries from Exide.What Charging mode shall i use in my inverter for the same?
I am planning to buy Luminous Zelio 1100VA UPS with Luminous ILTT 18048 Battery.Is it Ok or may I go for any other ?Please suggest Admin.

Thanks for your positive comments !
Hi admin I am having Luminous ZELIO 1100 inverter and Exide 200Ah tubular battery. For last one week it shows some codes like FLA and the inverter is not giving out the charge. What should I do ?
Dear Ben cherian,
You can not repair it by yourself. Many users are facing this issue.
First register your complaint to the nearest luminous dealer .
hi admin,
I want to buy a luminous inverter & battery for my home which has 2 tubelights, 2 CFLs, 22″ LED TV, 2 fans. which one shall i buy
Sir plz suggest me that Which is better Luminous zelio or su kam falcon plus inverter. Money is not a concern.
Dear Raja Vignesh,
Both models are premium range inverter models available in
market.
Sukam Falcon plus without LCD display is better in terms of charging.
Both models are better in overall performance.
PS
Never go for Sukam Falcon ++ model with LCD display. So many complaints from users.
Hello sir I want to buy pure sine wave inverter plz suggest me which inverter is best from these three comanies sukam, luminous and microtek my need is 850 va or 900 va
What is your suggestion about su kam falcon 900 va inverter
HI,
I have brought zelios 1100 and 150ah luminous TT battery. One thing i am confused is how to understand when the power is getting off. As i need to be careful of not using much load. Can ADMIN please advice how to understand how to know when the power is off.
thanks.
Your gadgets and lights/fan not connected with invertor will stop working.
Unfortunately there is no sound alaram when power goes. And there is not time gap between switching of appliances as well. the power back up is instantaneous even in the eco mode. so you will never realise the the power went and inverter is running.
you have to check a small display at the corner of the inverter to know it.
The inverter lines are usually connection to the fan and lights only. If you have seperate lines in the MCB for heavy appliances then even better. you heavy appliances sockets wont work on inverter so its safe. I would suggest you keep a small 0 watt bulb connected to your AH line . you could use it as reference to check if power is there or not.
Hi I have bought zelios 1100 and 150ah luminous TT battery a week before, even in main power mode (Not in battery mode), Input MCB trips frequently. Please advise!!
You need to check the wiring.
Hi Admin
Magnett Tech. from Frazer Town Bangalore has given this best offer Luminous Zelio 1100 +
Luminous ILTT18048 – 150AH Tall Tubular Battery +1 Hi Tech Tall Tubular Plastic Trolley Rs. 19500. Is this price good. Please share your thoughts.
If you get this combo for 18 or 18.5 k , it would be a good deal.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Hello,
I purchased luminous zelio 1100 inverter a week back.
There is no sound alarm from the inverter when main power goes off or when heavy load is put…I am unable to understand how to check this
Your inverter’s PCB must be tested by authorized service person. Do file a complaint to Luminous.
Few days back, I bought Luminous Zelio 1100 + Luminous 18048 battery, in Bangalore. It’s working fine. The only drawback of this inverter is, there is no alarm or beep sound when it takes load during power cut. Suppose if there is power cut, during day time, we never know we are running on inverter. Only during night time, it can be seen obviously by seeing dark neighbours houses. Initially, I thought there could be something missing, I called up Luminous Customer care registered a complaint, within few hours an Engineer called and asked my problem. I explained the situation. He said Zelio 1100 model doesn’t make beep sound like other inverters. Just want to share with readers, who may think this could be a problem.
One more thing, my house wiring was done separately for inverter purpose. Normal lighting and large appliance wiring are separate. But I noticed one thing, would like to ask your opinion. During power cuts, when home lighting runs thru inverter, large appliances like Refrigerator, oven, AC, washing machine, Mixer and Water heater don’t work as they are separate, but there is power in both positive and negative outlet of each socket of appliances. Is this normal. Please share your thoughts. Thanks again.
This is Because polarity difference in Inverter feeding socket. Any good electrician will be able to resolve this.
Not charging luminous 900va
hi what mean bypass mode and normal mode in this inveter and what its function?
In case you stuck with problem caused by faulty internal components , you could use the bypass function to disconnect the ups from the home wiring line and continue using the gadgets connected to ups using grid power.
if i switch off the UPS doesn’t it perform the same function ?
Bought zeilo 1100 .. It Says only 900 VA/ 530 watt but the name says 1100. And also product Description says 675 watts in website .
Luminous 18048 is the battery used . So usually mixie takes close to 600 watts.
Questions
1) Why 900VA / 530 watts such a huge difference . Power Factor Comes close to 0.6. While other inverter like Sukam has 0.8 , ie 1115 v/ 875 watts . Is it because of poor efficiency or am I missing something ??
2) So can I run a mixie during emergency when all others are switched off . Ie is 600 ?
3) It seems fan in inverter is causing some sound during charging not very high . My dealer says its ideal sir but I am not sure . Please Clarify.
I have amaaron 150Ah battery. I’m confused between luminous zello 1100 and microtek sebz 1100. Please choose between these two. And also I have a 200ah Exide battery. Which inverter will be good for the 200ah? Luminous, Microtek or sukam?
For 200 Ah battery sukam Falcon plus would be the right choice.
It gives better charge current even in low voltage condition.
Thank you for your reply. What about the 150AH? Which inverter will be better between luminous zello 1100 and microtek sebz 1100.
