As much as I love taking 20,000 steps during a trip, I also really enjoy staying home, slowing down, and catching up on my favorite series. I still live with my mom and have limited space, so I try to make my little corner at home as cozy and functional as possible – especially when it comes to enjoying my favorite movies and series.
Our friends from LUMOS recently sent over the new LUMOS RAY GEN2, and it’s designed to turn any corner of your home into a cinema-like experience.
UNBOXING THE LUMOS RAY GEN2:
The box comes with the following:

Everything is neatly packed and travel-friendly – perfect if you like moving it around the house or bringing it to movie nights.
THE DESIGN AND SPECS
As expected from LUMOS, the LUMOS RAY GEN2 is sleek, compact, and portable. It’s an upgraded version of the best-selling LUMOS RAY, which has received over 2,000 5-star reviews in the past three years.
The LUMOS RAY GEN2 is built to deliver an enhanced cinema experience with:
- 1080p resolution with 4K support
- Auto Screen Correction
- Dolby Audio speakers
- Built-in phone mirrorin
Even in small spaces, a distance of just 1.5m is enough to project a large 50-inch screen. It’s truly a plug-and-play device – easy to set up, easy to move around, and great for both movies and gaming.
Its 4K support, brightness, and high resolution make the colors vivid and sharp in darker rooms (no grainy or washed-out visuals).
The LUMOS RAY GEN2 also uses AI sensor technology that automatically corrects screen shape and focus within seconds – super helpful when the projector gets nudged or moved.
It also features a dual Dolby Audio speaker system, which delivers immersive sound with strong bass – perfect for watching films, streaming concerts, or hosting movie nights.
MY EXPERIENCE USING THE LUMOS RAY GEN2
I spent more time at home this holiday season catching up on my favorite shows, and the LUMOS RAY GEN2 really helped set the cozy home-cinema vibe. LUMOS also included the LUMOS RIZE Pro Adjustable Stand, which allows me to secure the projector and adjust the angle easily. Somehow, it became a nice statement piece to a simple and minimalist home/corner.
The LUMOS RAY GEN2 comes with built-in streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and more – so no need to plug in additional devices.

Clear and vivid projection even at a short distance
I started watching Stranger Things Season 5, and I love how well it captures the nostalgic, cinematic feel of the series. The colors are vivid, the picture is crisp, and it looks especially stunning when watching at night.
There were moments when the screen briefly showed some pixels – but this appears to be the projector refocusing automatically, especially when I accidentally move the stand or projector. Once it adjusts, the screen goes back to being sharp.

Even though I only have a small space to use the projector, the LUMOS RAY GEN2 still delivers:
- a large, clear screen
- vivid colors
- and impressive sound quality
It definitely elevates the viewing experience at home.
The LUMOS RAY GEN2 is a great option for anyone living in a small space who enjoys streaming movies, playing games, or hosting intimate get-togethers and cozy movie nights.
The LUMOS RAY GEN2 Smart is priced at ₱10,999 and comes with a 1-year local warranty, plus a free projector bag and mini tripod. Orders can be placed through the official LUMOS website, and the company ships locally within the Philippines.
