LUMOS: NANO Mini Portable Projector

25 March 2022 in SHOP, SINGAPORE

There are quite a few things I like to do in my free time, but there are two main things I especially enjoy doing to take a break from the demands of the everyday. One, I watch Youtube and two, I read books. :) 

Singaporean brand LUMOS, well known for their projectors, recently got in touch to ask me if I’d like to try their latest model: the small and compact LUMOS NANO. I’ve heard about home projectors for quite some time now (from vlogs on Youtube, of course) and I’ve also seen some posts online talking about the projectors by LUMOS, so I was very curious to try one out! 

As I’ve always shared about how much I love going to the cinema to catch a movie, I thought it’ll be pretty great to project all the Youtube vlogs and baking videos I love watching so much to recreate a bigger screen at home. For the NANO, do feel free to use any available wall/screen/surface to act as your screen!

When I opened the package, the very first thing I liked is how small and portable it is! You can tell from my photo that it’s really about the size of my mug and very light, easy to bring around and placed anywhere you need it to be. After years of living in Hong Kong, I’ve developed a preference towards keeping smaller and less things to save space, so this is quite perfect for me! 

The projector comes with an inbuilt touch pad on the top and also a remote control to navigate it as you’re using it. I’ve been trying out the NANO for about 3 weeks and in my first photo below, it was taken in the evening, with the lights turned on. It definitely works best with the lights turned off though, for the full experience! I’ve included some snapshots and also a video clip of some Youtube video watching (*Netflix & YouTube are inbuilt into the NANO’s system!).

I did enjoy the experience of watching videos with a much bigger “screen” beyond my laptop and the sound was also very loud and clear. LUMOS shared with me that the high audio quality is due to the NANO’s Dolby Audio speakers and that the projector can also be used as a portable speaker as well – sounds very useful! 

Trying out the fast forwarding and rewinding while watching a video

While I was trying out the projector, I also discovered the inbuilt Chrome browser, which I was very excited about because I also read a lot of blogs online and decided to try loading some of them for a reading experience. Here are some snapshots which I took of my own blog to share:

For all the details on the tech specifications of the NANO, do check out their webpage here and also check out the great reviews from other users. As for pricing, the LUMOS NANO costs S$599 (comes with a 1 year local warranty). Please do note that LUMOS currently only delivers to Singapore and Malaysia.

I had a pretty great experience trying out my very first projector, so I hope this offered you an option to consider if you’re shopping for one!

*Note: My NANO projector was gifted from LUMOS. This is not a paid post and all opinions are my own.

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖

*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.

Let's go, 2022. ☘ Let's go, 2022. ☘
2021 has been a roller coaster ride - up and down, 2021 has been a roller coaster ride - up and down, down and up and upside down. 🎢 The year zoomed past - I feel like I got on the ride, excited and expectant and then realised I got on the craziest roller coaster there is. I haven't really gotten the chance to catch my breath or pause and have a moment to reflect. 

Overall, it's been a good year (and it's such a blessing to say this in yet another challenging year) but I would very much like to be able to take a break and slow down sometimes. 

With all its craziness, 2021 has also taken me by surprise, in some major and wonderful ways. I'm incredibly thankful for it all and want to look forward to 2022 with faith and hope. 

As this roller coaster ride comes to an end soon, I'm getting ready to get off, steady myself and hopefully the next ride is more a carousel instead? 🎠 See you soon, 2022. 🌠
It's been a long and tiring year, 2021. I recognis It's been a long and tiring year, 2021. I recognise my own privilege, and I'm always thankful for good health, steady work and kindness from people around me. But I'll readily say 2021 has been a tough chapter. 

I've felt stressed and overwhelmed a lot this year. I try my best and give it my all, and everyone tells me I need to take a breath, hand the burden to the Lord and let it go. True and good advice. 😄 

Today is a public holiday in SG and I'm on full holiday mode. I've been indoors so much I feel like I'm rediscovering my city girl life again. 😂 I got up at noon and spent the day with @wording_art at one of our favourite spots in the city: Gardens by the Bay. 🌳 We ate, laughed and took a walk in the sunshine and breeze. Then we took pictures of ourselves and our shadows, because we started doing this when we used to live in Hong Kong. We think back fondly on our HK days and talk about going back when it's safe to travel again. 

Should definitely take a break more often. 🌞
