Website: www.lumosprojector.ph/daystar

If you’ve ever tried giving a presentation in a bright room or attempted a movie night without turning your whole place into a cave, trust me - I get you. We’ve had the same struggles.

That’s why we were really curious when we heard about the LUMOS DAYSTAR, a projector that claims to work beautifully even with the lights on. We wanted to see if it could actually handle real-life, everyday brightness.

If you're new to the brand, LUMOS is a Singaporean company known for making high-quality projectors that don’t break the bank. And honestly, the LUMOS DAYSTAR feels like their best one so far. It’s their most complete model. It is bright enough for daylight, great for entertainment, and surprisingly useful for work, too.

After using it for a while, we can say it really does live up to its name. Here’s how the LUMOS DAYSTAR performed in our space and why it impressed us.

Watch this video for our detailed review of the LUMOS DAYSTAR. 

D — Daylight-Ready Display

The name DAYSTAR isn’t just catchy. It’s literal.

This projector is purpose-built for daytime use. Dark curtains? Not required. Whether you’re binge-watching, presenting in a well-lit office, or projecting outdoors under the afternoon sun, the display remains clear and vibrant.

Key Display Features:

• Native 1080p resolution (with 4K support)

• 5000:1 contrast ratio

• Bright LED light source

• Crisp text + bold colors even with ambient light

From Netflix marathons to no-nonsense presentations, the LUMOS DAYSTAR absolutely beams.

A — Auto Keystone + Auto Focus

Manual adjustments? Nope. DAYSTAR is here to make life easier.

Thanks to its built-in camera system, the projector automatically fixes your screen shape and focus even if placed at an angle or moved slightly. Great for non-techy users and setups that aren’t perfectly centered.

You can even project behind a glass window or through your window screen (yes, really!) and it still delivers an impressive display. 

Y — Your Personal Hub for Entertainment & Productivity

This isn’t just a projector. It works similar to a smart TV and mini computer in one. Powered by Android 9.0, you get built-in streaming apps like:

• Netflix

• YouTube

• Disney+

• Amazon Prime 

• And access to even more apps via Google Play Store so, the possibilities are endless.  

You can also mirror your phone for gaming, connect your PS5, cast your laptop for meetings, or run presentations straight from the projector.

And here’s something that we really love.. 

The LUMOS DAYSTAR supports Microsoft Office files natively, such as PPT, Excel, Word, PDF. You can even connect a keyboard and mouse for quick edits.

Plus, retro gamers? Yup. There’s something for you too. 

With 16GB storage + 1GB RAM, you get enough space for essential apps and light productivity. 

S — Screen Size Flexibility

Tiny room or wide space? The LUMOS DAYSTAR adapts.

• Projects from 45 inches up to 200 inches, all with just a minimum 2-meter throw distance. 

• 4K supported display

• Works in bedrooms, living rooms, small condo spaces, offices, or outdoor setups

• Short throw ratio of 1.56:1 for bigger screens, even in tight areas

Whether you're watching a movie or presenting to a team, this projector knows how to go big.

T — Tough Build & Long Lamp Life

Despite weighing only 2.5 kg, the DAYSTAR is surprisingly sturdy.

But its real strength is the lamp - 30,000 to 50,000 hours of LED lamp life. That's 3x longer than other standard lamp projectors. Now,  you don't need to worry about constant bulb replacement. 

That’s years of use—no more stressing about expensive bulb replacements. Place it on a stand, mount it on a wall, or suspend it from the ceiling—it’s ready for the long run.

A — All-in Connectivity

You want options? LUMOS DAYSTAR gives you options. 

It comes with:

• HDMI

• USB

• 3.5mm audio jack

• RJ45 LAN port (for faster wired internet!)

• Bluetooth for audio enhancements

• Wireless screen mirroring for iOS and Android

So whether you're gaming, streaming, presenting, or photo-casting, this projector plays well with others.

R — Rich Audio With Dual Speakers

Unlike projectors that sound like tiny tin cans, the LUMOS DAYSTAR brings oomph. Its dual 4Ω 3W speakers deliver clear, surprisingly full audio, which is great for casual movie nights without external speakers.
