Smart features and backup distinguish the Luminous Zelio 1100 and Zelio+ 1100. WiFi-enabled Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 inverters support Google Assistant. The Luminous Zelio+ 1100 has no WiFi or Bluetooth and uses an alarm to indicate battery status.
The 756W Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 supports Google Assistant for voice control and smart home integration. Its smart display shows backup and charging times. Its cooling fan is louder, and the software may have WiFi connectivity issues. It also supports only one battery, though a parallel connection is possible but not advised.
The Luminous Zelio+ 1100 has 900W and supports 100Ah to 220Ah 12V batteries. Its digital display works well during charging but not discharging and does not beep during power cuts or restoration. The Zelio+ 1100 outputs a pure sine wave AC at 50Hz at a lower voltage than the grid. The time remaining feature is inaccurate with different battery capacities.
Here is the Comparison Table: Luminous Zelio 1100 Vs Zelio+ 1100
Suitable for various power cut situations with high charge acceptance and low maintenance.
Compatible with a wide range of battery types and capacities.
Pure sine wave output for sensitive appliances.
Smart display with unique indication for various statuses.
Regulated output voltage in UPS Mode.
Software has issues with finding the inverter when connected to WiFi.
Officially supports only one battery,parallel connection not suggested by the manufacturer.
No beeping during power cuts or power restoration.
Digital display for charging status.
Pure sine wave AC current at around 50Hz.
Lacks WiFi or Bluetooth features.
Output voltage is slightly lower than grid voltage.
Time remaining feature is inaccurate.
Luminous Zelio+ 1100 Pure Sinewave
The Luminous Zelio+ 1100 uses a single 12V battery from 100 Ah to 220 Ah and has 900 Watts. This wide battery compatibility allows for customised battery configurations. The inverter didn’t beep during power cuts or restoration, which I liked because it reduced noise.
I appreciated the display’s battery charge time remaining. During discharging, the display either shows 100% battery or no battery, making it difficult to estimate battery life.
WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity would have improved remote monitoring and control of the Luminous Zelio+ 1100. The inverter only has a battery-discharge alarm.
Despite these drawbacks, the Luminous Zelio+ 1100 generates a pure sine wave AC at 50 Hz, which sensitive electronic devices need. The output voltage was 208-210V, lower than the grid’s 220-240V.
I cannot assess the inverter’s capacity since my load never exceeded 380W. During my testing, the time remaining feature was inaccurate when connected to different battery configurations.
Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 Pure Sinewave
Google Assistant compatibility makes controlling this inverter easy and convenient. I can control the device by voice.
The Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 supports 2 LED TVs, 10 LED bulbs, 7 LED tube lights, 5 fans, and a 250-litre fridge during a power outage. This comprehensive coverage keeps my home functional and comfortable during extended power outages.
The inverter works with flat plate, tubular, and SMF batteries from 80 Ah to 220 Ah. This flexibility lets users pick the right battery.
The Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 protects sensitive appliances from voltage fluctuations with pure sine wave output. The smart display shows backup and charging time, mains on, mode, system fault, and battery status.
The inverter’s UPS mode keeps output voltage between 180V and 260V, but there are some drawbacks. First, some users find the UPS cooling fan noisy. Once WiFi-registered, the software sometimes has trouble finding the inverter.
Finally, the Luminous Zelio WiFi 1100 supports one battery. Luminous advises against paralleling batteries.
