The (now) poor quality, reliability and longevity of Luminous products
My old Luminous Zelio inverter (bought in ~2013) lasted for close to 8 years. Trusting the Luminous brand, I installed two more Luminous Zelio inverters in year 2024 in two different homes. Come year 2025 and both these Zelio inverters have conked off and that too in less than a year! I guess they don't make the Zelio inverters the way they used to :-( For now, I have shifted to Microtek Heavy Duty UPS 1750 and Microtek 1275 12V SW inverter models.
