Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Lightwave 150A Toner is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,850, a generic black cartridge built to fit printers that take the HP 150A W1500A. It is a compatible, third-party product made by Lightwave, not an HP cartridge, and every unit we sell is brand new and sealed. The Lightwave 150A Toner suits the compact HP LaserJet M111 and LaserJet MFP M141 families, including the M141a, M141ca and M141cw. You can collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for home offices, tuition centres, small pharmacies and student households across Kenya, the Lightwave 150A Toner keeps a small laser printer working when the shop down the road has run out of stock. The usual problem is simple. Your printer flashes a toner warning the night before a KRA return, a school fee statement or a tender document is due, and the branded refill costs more than you planned to spend. The Lightwave 150A Toner gives you a lower-cost way back to clean black text, with sharp lines that suit letters, receipts and forms. It also spares you a matatu ride across town hunting for stock.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unmarked refills with no paperwork, Mascom International sells the Lightwave 150A Toner with a receipt, a clear compatibility list and a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they keep one spare cartridge in the drawer so a sudden blank page never stops the day. Because HP printers can react differently to third-party supplies after firmware updates, send us your printer model on WhatsApp before you order. We will confirm the fit, then deliver on a pay-on-arrival basis.
Common Questions About the Lightwave 150A Toner
How much is the Lightwave 150A Toner in Kenya?
The Lightwave 150A Toner costs KSh 2,850 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sold brand new and sealed. That price covers one black compatible cartridge, the 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. If your printer uses the larger HP 151A instead, the Lightwave 151A Toner costs KSh 3,800, which is KSh 950 more. Check the label on your old cartridge first, because the two sizes are not interchangeable.
Which printers does the Lightwave 150A Toner fit?
The Lightwave 150A Toner is made for printers that use the HP 150A W1500A cartridge. HP lists that cartridge for its LaserJet M109 to M112 range and its LaserJet MFP M139 to M142 range, which includes the M111, M141a, M141ca and M141cw. The quickest check is the code printed on your current cartridge or inside the front cover. If it reads 150A or W1500A, this is the matching size. Send a photo on WhatsApp if you are unsure.
How does the Lightwave 150A Toner compare with the original HP 150A cartridge?
The Lightwave 150A Toner is a generic cartridge sold at KSh 2,850, while the original HP 150A is the cartridge HP makes and supports for these printers. HP rates its own 150A at about 975 pages, a figure for the HP cartridge only. Lightwave publishes no matching yield for this model, so we do not claim one. Pick the HP original if your office must use manufacturer supplies. Pick the Lightwave 150A Toner if lower cost per refill matters more.
Will my HP printer accept the Lightwave 150A Toner after a firmware update?
Acceptance of the Lightwave 150A Toner can depend on your exact printer model and the firmware it runs. HP printers in this range read a chip on each cartridge, and HP updates can change how third-party cartridges are treated. Mascom International does not guess on this. Before you pay, send your printer model and, if you can, the firmware version shown on its settings page to +254 708 852 521 on WhatsApp, and our team will advise you.
How should I store the Lightwave 150A Toner in Kenyan heat, dust and power cuts?
Keep the Lightwave 150A Toner in its sealed bag, in a cool, shaded cupboard, until the day you install it. Toner powder dislikes heat, so avoid car dashboards, tin-roof stores and sunny windows, common in Mombasa and Garissa. Dust from Nairobi roads can settle on the roller, so open the bag indoors. If a KPLC power cut stops a print job, let the printer restart fully before resending, rather than pulling the cartridge out mid-cycle.
How do I install the Lightwave 150A Toner in an HP LaserJet M141?
Installing the Lightwave 150A Toner takes about two minutes and needs no tools. Open the printer cover, lift out the empty cartridge and hold the replacement by its handle. Remove every strip of orange or clear packing material, then rock the cartridge gently side to side to spread the powder evenly. Slide it into the slot until it sits flat, close the cover and print a test page to confirm it is reading correctly.
Is the Lightwave 150A Toner good for a cyber café or a small office?
The Lightwave 150A Toner works best where printing is steady but light, such as a home office, a small clinic desk or a cyber café printer that handles eCitizen forms, CVs and photocopies of IDs. These compact LaserJet machines are designed for modest volumes, so a busy café printing all day may go through cartridges quickly. In that case, buying two at once saves a second trip to Kimathi Street. Larger offices usually do better with a bigger printer class.
Who should buy the Lightwave 150A Toner and who should skip it?
Buy the Lightwave 150A Toner if you own a LaserJet M111 or MFP M141 series printer, print mostly black text and want to spend less per refill. Skip it if your company contract, leasing agreement or IT policy requires original HP supplies, or if your printer runs firmware that blocks third-party cartridges. Skip it too if your printer takes the HP 151A; the Lightwave 151A Toner is the right size there.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Print Output
- Black-only laser toner cartridge — prints text, tables and line drawings, but not colour photos or coloured charts.
- Uses dry toner powder fused onto paper by heat, so pages come out dry and do not smear when handled.
- Suited to letters, invoices, delivery notes, school worksheets and government forms where crisp black text matters most.
- Single-cartridge printer design, so one Lightwave 150A Toner is the only supply you change when print turns faint.
- Page output depends on how much of each page you cover; dense tables and scanned images use more toner than plain text.
- HP rates its original 150A at about 975 pages; Lightwave does not publish a separate figure for this generic model.
Compatibility and Printer Fit
- Designed to fit printers that use the HP 150A W1500A, so it takes the same slot as that cartridge.
- HP lists the 150A for its LaserJet M109 to M112 range, which covers the single-function M111 printers.
- HP also lists it for the LaserJet MFP M139 to M142 range, including the M141a, M141ca and M141cw models.
- Not interchangeable with the larger HP 151A size used in LaserJet Pro 4003 and MFP 4103 printers.
- Printer firmware can affect how any third-party cartridge is recognised, so confirm your model and firmware on WhatsApp first.
- Look for 150A or W1500A on your old cartridge label; that code is the fastest way to match the size.
Build and Handling
- Shaped to the same outline as the HP 150A W1500A, so it slides into the printer without forcing.
- Supplied brand new and sealed in protective packaging that keeps out moisture, light and dust until installation day.
- Removable packing strips protect the roller in transit; take every strip off before inserting the cartridge.
- Gently rocking the cartridge before use spreads the powder evenly and helps avoid pale patches on the first pages.
- Store flat in a cool cupboard away from direct sun, since high heat can cause toner powder to clump.
- Handle by the grip only and avoid touching the roller surface, which marks easily and can leave streaks.
Inclusions and Ordering
- One Lightwave 150A Toner cartridge per pack, ready to install once the packing strips are removed.
- No cables, paper or software are needed, since your printer and its driver are already set up.
- Mascom International issues a receipt with every sale, which serves as your record for warranty claims.
- Spare cartridges can be reserved on WhatsApp and collected in Nairobi CBD or delivered pay-on-arrival.
- Bulk orders for offices, schools and cyber cafés can be quoted on request through our phone or email lines.
Package Contents
The Lightwave 150A Toner box holds one Lightwave black toner cartridge, sealed in its protective bag with packing strips in place. Nothing else comes in the pack, and nothing else is needed, because your printer already has its power cable, USB or wireless link and driver installed. Keep the empty box and bag; they make a clean way to carry the used cartridge for disposal. Mascom International adds a receipt at checkout, which you will need if you ever make a warranty claim.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Lightwave 150A Toner with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the cartridge fails because of a fault in how it was made, bring it with your receipt to our service desk at Old Mutual Building in Nairobi CBD, where our team will assess the claim.
