This system is wack. I'm surprised that it can't charge rechargeable touches. 12V Overload is their good morning, while disconnect some appliances (when only one or two is connected) is their good evening. It's simply a power bank for bulbs and phones, and then nothing else.

I'm telling you! They really need to update the system.

At least offer more battery capacity and a more wattage power inverter.

Well written review.

Thanks

MTN Lumos Solar Review - Dopi Technologies

Everyone would love to have 24 hours of electricity in their homes, and that’s what many Solar Electricity SPs promise to offer. Well, in Nigeria, one of the most popular (best-selling) portable solar system electricity system is the Lumos Solar System. Lumos partnered with MTN to provide small homes with 24hours electricity (as claimed), but that’s not what they brought to Nigerians. Here’s my Lumos Solar Electricity System review.

What is MTN Lumos Solar?
It’s actually not owned by MTN. Lumos is an international company that manufactures solar systems to provide people with an alternative way to have steady electricity without noise. Lumos solar system is actually meant to replace noisy generators in homes while minimizing the cost of having steady electricity. The company looks promising and the Lumos Solar System (sold by MTN) actually works, but…

Tech Specs of Lumos Solar Panel and Battery
1. The solar panel is 80W
2. 12-volt battery
3. Two USB ports (5V DC / 2.1A)
4. Four DC Output jacks (12V / 2A)
5. Two Car Cigarette Sockets (12V / 8A)
6. Comes with a 60W power inverter

Feature of Lumos solar system (panel and battery)
The panel is no different from the typical solar panels you’ve seen. However, Lumos solar system (the yellow box) is highly computerized. There’s an LCD screen on the yellow box, alongside a few buttons. Also, the system features two cigarette ports where you can connect your power inverter.
What’s in the box?
The panel is sidelined with the box; however, you’ll get the following in total.

The yellow box (computerized solar battery system)
1. 2 DC bulbs
2. 60W power inverter
3. A manual

My Lumos Solar System Review
I got the system at around February 2019 when I needed to get something done and the use of generators is prohibited in the place i was living at that time. Looking at how urgent I needed electricity at that time, I quickly rushed to the nearest MTN office and requested for Lumos. However, I never knew much about how it works. I was just thinking it would work like typical solar systems.

So, I got the system for N20,000 after the seemingly long process of signing up, plus guarantors. A certified Lumos installer was referred to me and I paid N3,500 for the solar installation.

I must say that I never knew you could buy up this system at a go (by paying a one-time fee); well, I’m glad i didn’t know, cos I would have paid off at a go and it will be a total waste.

So, by the time the installation was complete, I paid a total of N23,500. But, before you can use the system, you must connect the 60W power inverter, then connect your extension (socket) where you can now plug in your compatible appliances. Hence, if the power converter goes bad, there’s no alternative way for you to power your appliances.

Here are the things I used the Lumos Solar system to power;

1. LED TV
2. 15.6-inch HP laptop
3. Samsung tablet
4. Smartphones (2)
5. Smartwatch
6. CableTV decoder
7. Hair clipper (sometimes)

Asides these appliances above, I don’t use any other gadgets with the system.

Now, here are the flaws you’ll experience with the Lumos system.
1. There is no way to pause your subscription; even when you’re away, you must have an active subscription for your yellow box
2. The system will always go off when you plug-in a rechargeable torchlight
3. The capacity is very low; it couldn’t power my TV and Laptop at the same time
4. It often goes off or shows “overload” notice when you connect some phone charges or small capacity appliances

My worst moments using this solar system
My worst experience with the Lumos Solar System was when my 60W power inverter went bad. The inverter started malfunctioning and I went back to the place I bought the system to pick up a new power inverter as it among the freebies attached to the warranty. But, I was informed that the converter, not nowhere available in my state. This was so frustrating because my subscription was wasting and there’s no other way to convert the DC energy to power my stuff.

Also, I was cautioned not to use another power inverter so as not to void to bridge the T&C’s. Cutting the whole long story short, It’s 3 months now and I’m yet to get a new converter from MTN/Lumos. Each time I called, I’m told that the converter is not yet available in my state. To worsen it all, I was even called a few hours ago and told to renew my subscription because it has expired. Imagine? I’ve not used the system for a whole three months, what am I paying for?

Well, you can buy this Power Inverter to use in place of the default 60W inverter. This power inverter offers a whopping 150W, more than x2 of what you get from the default power inverter (60W). There are a couple of features available on this power inverter that are handy. But using this inverter with the Lumos yellow box isn’t as efficient as you may expect it to be. I won’t say much about the inverter…

Honestly, I don’t think the Lumos Solar System sold by MTN is an option for anyone, including students.

I will never buy a brand new iPhone again. Instead, I'll wait and buy it later when the price must have dropped drastically.

I still find new Android phones far more smarter than it's comparative iPhone model. From features down to specs.

I never wanted to believe it but now I can say that iPhones are simply over-hyped.

My opinion/view tho. No one should wail and mention me abeg.

It's alright

Nice phone with state-of-the-art specs as usual

My opinion though but I think it's a good move. Kindly read before replying!

I have never followed Big Brother show since inception as BBafrica and BBnaija. However, this year my neighbors who are ladies where all on my neck, so I decided to take a look at the show.

Now my reasons.

I've been hearing people complain of diverse immorality showcased in this event but I've never given it a thought. However immediately I tunned to the channel and watched the show for just 20 minutes, I was so annoyed at the high level of insanity display by supposed matured individuals.

This is not a show for kids below 18, but even at that, it depicts no single moral, social, and whatever else value to our youths watching it.

I was even told the main actions are yet to even start. That at a time, the inmates play very nudy games. That's bad, that's bad!!

I may not be explain my great disappointments just 20 minutes of watching this show. However, since many others have confirmed this show is as good as useless, why don't the government ban it? It's killing our youths! Kids are even hiding to watch it...

P. S: those my neighbors aren't happy with me now cos I always bash them about this show. I dont care anyway.

Also, why was BBafrica stopped?

If money spent on this show is spent on something else, maybe empowerment schemes or stuff of that nature, it will be far better and helpful to Nigeria. I have much to say about this show and why it should be banned, but, let me hear wat others have to say firstly. Thanks

Please I'm asking this for a friend.

To the doctors and health practitioners we have here, how can one end sleepless nights?

I met this friend recently (a girl actually) on a WhatsApp group chat. It was 1am and I was bored by what I was doing so I started replying to the messages in the group chat. This girl replied too and I jokingly asked her why she was still awake at that time, she didn't seem so comfortable to answer the question in the group chat so we went private.

She explained that for over 5 years now she doesn't sleep at night. I was moved cos I'm the type that value sleep a lot.

Please what can she do to start sleeping again? According to her, she has taken so many medications yet to no avail. What could be a lasting solution to this.

She is not my girlfriend please, I'm just concerned and trying to help

Your opinions are highly appreciated.
Thanks

In case I made mistakes in my grammar, please pardon me.
