The Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS capacity of this UPS translates to approximately 480 watts of power—enough to support a desktop computer with a monitor, a modem/router, or a CCTV/DVR unit. The Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS is ideal for:
Office desktops
Routers and modems
Security system DVRs
Home entertainment systems
Smart TVs or gaming consoles (under 400W draw)
Its offline / line-interactive design ensures basic backup during power outages, while the inclusion of AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) stabilizes voltage in areas with fluctuating mains power.
The line-interactive topology of the Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS helps regulate incoming voltage before it reaches your devices. This means:
In the event of a voltage dip or surge, the UPS automatically adjusts the output voltage to safe levels.
During total power loss, it instantly switches to battery mode with minimal delay.
Switching time: Approximately 2–6 milliseconds ensures uninterrupted usage, giving you enough time to either continue working briefly or shut down safely.
The unit is equipped with a 12V, 7Ah sealed lead-acid battery. Depending on the total load, the Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS can offer:
10 to 20 minutes of backup at moderate loads (~200W)
5 to 10 minutes at higher loads near its maximum rated capacity (~400–450W)
This runtime allows for controlled shutdown, time to save your work, or riding out short-duration blackouts without interruption.
Recharge time is approximately 6–8 hours to reach 90–100% capacity.
The Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS features a single 3-pin AC output socket (Kenyan standard) suitable for direct plug-in of most devices. Users with multiple components can connect a high-quality power extension to manage multiple devices off this single outlet.
Surge and spike protection is built in. The unit prevents:
Overcharge of the battery
Overload on output circuits
Short circuit protection for safety
These protections not only safeguard connected devices but also ensure the UPS unit operates efficiently over time.
The Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS is equipped with a LED status panel, clearly indicating the unit’s current state:
Green for normal AC mode
Yellow for battery mode
Red for overload or fault
Audible alarms alert you in real-time for:
Switching to battery
Low battery level
Overload/fault condition
The beeps are designed to be noticeable but not disruptive, making the Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS suitable for home, office, and retail environments.
One of the highlights of the Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS is its sleek tower-style form factor. It is:
Lightweight (~6 kg)
Space-saving (approx. 30 cm x 12 cm x 16 cm)
Ventilated for optimal heat dissipation
You can place it discreetly under a desk, next to your PC, or near networking gear without cluttering the workspace.
The Lightwave LW 850VA 3-Pin UPS includes:
Auto-restart when AC power resumes
Auto-charging even when the UPS is turned off
Energy-efficient idle mode to minimize power consumption
These features contribute to long-term battery health and lower electricity bills.
