The best inverter for your house depends on your needs. First you need to know the total load you want to run on the inverter. Inverters can work with all types of home appliances and consumer electronics. Your requirements would determine if you need a high-capacity or lower-capacity inverter. To calculate the total load you would like to run on the inverter. You can refer to our inverter calculator. Visit our Inverter Calculator https://www.luminousnigeria.com/load-calculator to estimate your load and the best inverter battery combo for you.

Batteries come in different capacities. They are available in 150AH, 220AH, etc. The battery capacity would depend on your expected backup time and the appliances to be connected.

Tubular batteries with large tube-like positive plates, unlike other lead acid batteries. These batteries are rugged, provide longer service life and have twice the cycle life of SMF/VRLA batteries. They are specifically designed to support long and frequent power cuts.

The number of batteries required for any inverter is determined by the inverter and its capacity. Some inverters can hold 1, others 2, and some 4 and more.All batteries are 12 Volts, usually written 12V. The easy trick to knowing the number of batteries you need for a specific inverter is to look at the inverter specifications. You will always have it in the pattern Inverter capacity/DC voltage needed.For instance, the Luminous Optimus 900VA/12V means 900volt-ampere /12Volt battery and a 1600VA/24V means 1600volt-ampere / 2 x 12Volt batteries.

Luminous provides 12 months for their inverter systems. And provide 24 months warranty for their tubular batteries. These warranties are against manufacturer defects.

Luminous inverters are the best because they are energy efficient, simple to use, stylish and have proven to be very reliable during power outages.

A small or medium inverter capacity ranging from 1.5KVA – 4KVA will be ideal for an SME. This is subject to the capacity of the appliances to be connected.

When converting DC to AC, sine wave inverters outperform square wave inverters. Because of the reduced power loss and increased efficiency, using a sine wave inverter has the added benefit of not increasing your electricity bill.

Constant/ intermittent alarming, lack of output power/ poor performance, automatic shut-off, not powering-on, and inability to power load (device) below the inverter capacity are all indicators of a faulty inverter.
