LUMOS FLOAT Review- First 360 ° Rotatable Projector – TheWackyDuo.com

Looking for an affordable and versatile projector?

The
LUMOS FLOAT
is the latest addition to LUMOS home cinema projectors. This projector is
made to target the masses at a jaw-dropping price from $199 only. At this
price range, it will be a stretch to find a 27-inch monitor. With a projected
screen size of 50-150 inches from the LUMOS FLOAT, this looks like a steal.

First Impression: A Floating Projector?

This is not your regular projector with fixed legs. Instead, it comes with a
handle cum stand for the projector. This allows the projector to turn 360 °.
This is useful for projecting an image from different angles and even on the
ceilings. 

The handle has a Skytrack system. Using the Command Universal Picture Hanger,
you can also wall mount this without any tool.  This would be useful to
hang this next to or above your bed. 

In terms of build, this is a solid aluminium. It has a small footprint and
is lightweight for portability. For connections, you have AV, USB, HDMI and
Audio Out.

Accessories provided are power cable, HDMI cable, AV cable, user manual and
remote control.

Features

Projection on Grey Textured Wall

Build in Apps

The unit I had is the SMART version ($298) that comes preloaded with
YouTube and Netflix. Unlike earlier projectors, Netflix works effortlessly
with the Remote Control. An external mouse is not required to navigate
Netflix.

Other Apps like Disney + can be easily downloaded from Google Playstore.

3000 Lumens, 1080p support

The LUMOS FLOAT comes with 3000 Lumens, which is not bad by today’s
standard. I had been using the
LUMOS AURO V2 regularly and was spoiled by the impressive 6000 Lumens. Compared to
the LUMOS FLOAT to the Flagship, the brightness is obvious. On the flip
side, darker images made it more watchable in bright environments. 

LUMOS FLOAT has a native 720p resolution with 1080p support. The best
screen output would be to project it on a projection screen or a white
wall under darkness to see the best visual. The LUMOS FLOAT does not
come with autofocus, but that is easily mitigated with the focus control
on the remote.

Only 1.5m needed, Screen Size up to 150 inches

The minimum distance will be 1.5m to project a 50-inch screen. The LUMOS
FLOAT can generate an image as big as 150 inches. The good thing about the
float is that you can switch from wall mount to ceiling mount with just a
twist of the projector. There are no necessary fumbles or awkward
positions as you would with other projectors.

Connectivity to the home network was seamless and there was no
noticeable lag during operation. The remote control is basic without any
shortcut buttons. It would be a homerun if Netflix, youtube shortcut
buttons were on it.

Verdict

The LUMOS FLOAT
is decent for its price point and would be ideal for budget-conscious
consumers. As a projector, it would be a good addition to bedrooms or
study rooms. It is available in Pink, Silver or Gold. 

Pros

  • Value for money
  • Versatile setup
