TL; DR
- The Lumio Arc 5 costs Rs. 19,999. It will be available on Amazon in the last week of July.
- The Lumio Arc 7 costs Rs. 34,999. It will be available at an introductory price of Rs. 29,999 during the Amazon Prime Days sale between July 12 and 14.
- Both Lumio’s home projectors come with the Arclight Engine, which delivers FHD (1080p) with support for HDR10, providing vibrant colors and sharp details.
- The company also mentions how the Arclight Engine is fully sealed (to prevent the ingress of dust, which degrades the projection quality) and precision-aligned.
Roughly three months after releasing its smart TVs in the Indian market, the indigenous consumer appliance brand Lumio is back with two new products: the Vision Arc 5 and Vision Arc 7 home projectors. The devices aim to address the gap in the Indian projector market, particularly in the mid-range section (from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 50,000), where options are scarce.
As someone who purchased a mid-range projector last year, I’d second the brand’s claim about the unavailability of good-quality, reliable options in the segment. The Lumio Vision Arc 5 and Vision Arc 7 rectify issues such as poor OTT app compatibility, subpar audio, and unreliable after-sales service (something I’ve experienced firsthand).

Lumio Arc 5 Specifications
Out of the box, the Lumio Arc 5 offers 200 ANSI lumens of brightness, providing vibrant visuals in dimly lit environments (not suitable for daytime use, especially in rooms with windows or skylights).
The projector offers up to 100-inch projection, features 5W speakers with dual passive radiators for extra bass (with support for Dolby Audio), and is Google TV and Netflix certified (implying that these apps will operate well on the projector).
Last but not least, the device weighs 1.33 kilograms, making it ideal for make-shift movie nights or carrying along in a luggage bag.
