Okay, confession time: I just finished binging up to the finale of Stranger Things, and let me tell you, watching it on a massive 100-inch screen—thanks to the new LUMOS RAY GEN2—was an absolute game-changer. I was really planning to do this sooner, but I have been travelling. I’ve reviewed past models, but hands down, the LUMOS RAY GEN2 is by far the best LUMOS I have tried so far. They really knocked it out of the park with this smart version!
For those who know the brand, you know the RAY series is already a huge success—it racked up over 2,000 five-star reviews over the last three years. The LUMOS RAY GEN2 takes that winning formula and supercharges it, delivering a true premium cinematic experience without requiring you to spend much.
What makes this the “Smart Version” is truly transformative. Gone are the days of fumbling with HDMI cables or external sticks! I myself used to have so many streaming sticks. The LUMOS RAY GEN2 features a built-in Android OS, complete with pre-installed Netflix and YouTube. You just turn on the projector, and you’re ready to watch. It is completely self-contained.
And for all my fellow mobile gamers and TikTok scrollers—the native inbuilt phone mirroring is flawless. Say goodbye to frustrating third-party apps; this mirroring is seamless and low-lag and lets you project your phone onto a massive 100-inch screen for gaming sessions or zero-ad scrolling.

The quality jump in this generation is immediate. The projector offers a native 1080p resolution supported by a bright 4,500 lumens. I like this combination because it means your colors are vivid, even in darkness, and you won’t get that washed-out, grainy look that plagues cheaper alternatives. It even supports 4K content for incredible clarity.
The screen size is where the LUMOS RAY GEN2 truly shines, giving you a massive 200 inches of screen immersion. What’s brilliant is how little space you need: it only requires a short distance of 1.5m to project a huge 50″ screen. This makes it perfect for apartment dwellers or small bedrooms—it genuinely fits anywhere and instantly transforms the room into a full-fledged cinema.
Oh, by the way, this is my white wall screen where I am flashing the video.
I also have to shout out the inbuilt dual Dolby audio speakers. So many compact projectors have shallow, tinny sound, forcing you to buy a separate soundbar. Not the LUMOS RAY GEN2. Its dual-speaker system produces rich, strong bass and truly immersive sound right out of the box.
And here we go we should be downloading Disney+ as well.
When you look at the specs—4K support, Auto Screen Correction, Dolby Audio, and Smart OS—you’d expect this projector to be in the ₱25,000 – ₱30,000 price range, which is what similar top-tier certified projectors cost. But the LUMOS RAY GEN2 SMART is amazingly priced at only ₱10,999. That’s incredible value! As a trusted local brand, it also comes with a comforting 1-year local warranty, plus they even throw in a free projector bag and a mini tripod.
If you’re ready to upgrade your entertainment, this is the one. You can grab the LUMOS RAY GEN2 directly from the LUMOS Projector website at www.lumosprojector.ph/raygen2. (They currently only ship locally in the Philippines, so get yours now!)
This thing is arriving just in time for the brand new year. I cannot wait to use the LUMOS RAY GEN2 for all my OSCARS movie marathons and family karaoke sessions!
