Lightwave LW UPS 1500VA In Kenya
The Lightwave LW UPS 1500VA price in Kenya is KES 13,000. The LW UPS is a strong line-interactive uninterruptible power supply that is used to protect mission-critical electronic equipment from power interruptions and fluctuations. Features a dimensions of 41.0 × 23.5 × 19.7 cm with a shipping weight of 9.0 kg, which makes it compact enough to install in offices, small data rooms, or workstations, without taking up too much space. The unit is rated up to 1500 VA (in some installations the usable output is around 900W-1000W), which makes it suitable to provide reliable backup power and built-in protection from various devices such as desktop computers, servers, network devices, and home offices. The UPS comes with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) with boost and buck control to prevent the battery from discharging when voltage sags or spikes occur; the goal is to keep the systems running in a stable state without activating the battery and in turn extending the life of the battery. Additional design features include intelligent battery management, auto-restart on AC recovery, and LED status indicators to show continuity of the manufacturer’s focus on reliability and ease of use.

Detailed Feature:
Apart from fundamental power security, the Lightwave LW UPS 1500VA represents a conscious design for real world utility, operation ease, and durability. The microprocessor controlled inverter, the intelligent battery charger, and improved protection features (overload + short-circuit features and a battery level indication) guarantee that your investment will be protected from electrical or environmental disaster. This UPS will protect your investment from electrical or environmental disasters. A relatively small footprint and light weight allow it to be situated under desks, beside network equipment, and in some rack spaces excellent utilization for small businesses, home offices, or work-from-home mode. Whether you are protecting vital data, maintaining an internet network during an outage, or just want a little downtime for your entertainment setup, this UPS is a solid choice for performance, price, and feature set. You will appreciate the automatic shutdown, maintenance notifications, and ease of use as a reliable protector for electronics in a facility with inconsistent power.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides substantial backup power capacity (1500VA) for workstations, network gear, and small offices.
- AVR (boost & buck) stabilizes voltage without immediately using the battery, enhancing battery lifespan.
- Intelligent battery management ensures better longevity and readiness for the next outage.
- Compact and relatively lightweight design for its power class suitable for non-rack mounting.
- Clear LED indicators and auto‐restart function improve monitoring and user convenience.
- Overload and short-circuit protections safeguard both the UPS and connected devices.
- Good value for a higher-capacity UPS in home or small business settings.
Cons
- Runtime under full load is constrained during longer outages, external battery packs or higher capacity units are required.
- Output waveform in many line-interactive units may be a stepped or simulated sine wave, which could affect very sensitive equipment.
- Does not offer advanced enterprise features like LCD interface, network management, or remote monitoring in many variants.
- Battery will eventually need replacement, adding to long-term operating cost.
- Still occupies dedicated space and requires good ventilation; though compact for its class, it’s bulkier than ultra-small models.
- Lacks pure sine wave guarantee in some installs, which may limit compatibility with high-end servers or audio/visual equipment.
- Setup may require some user understanding (especially for load balancing and placement) to maximize effectiveness.
