About this deal
It may be worth taking the ratings advertised by cheaper lights with a pinch of salt but, in general, anything with a CRI of 90 or more should be fine for photo and video work. While there are controls built into the rear of the light, the Elgato can be paired with a companion app, allowing you to adjust the brightness and colour temperature without having to leave your seat.
Thanks to its size and brightness, it doesn’t need positioning too close, giving you more options when it comes to where and how far away it can be positioned. This makes finding spares while on the move a cinch, though you may want to opt for rechargeables to save some cash. An LED panel or softbox capable of producing a similarly sized diffuse light is likely to be significantly bulkier, pricier – or both. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.It's perfect for creating content for your social media channels, taking the perfect image or simply having fun with your friends. Ring lights can illuminate a subject from multiple sides, which results in a pleasing, well-lit appearance, free of harsh shadows – a look that is generally flattering on faces. The result is a uniform ring of light, free of harsh hotspots which is noticeably less fatiguing on the eyes.
The light diameter is 10", whilst the light 120 non-replaceable LED bulbs can change colours from warm white, to white to bright white with just the touch of a button. It features a compact, pocketable design with a clip with which it can be attached to just about any smartphone or tablet. It’s no surprise, then, that ring lights are now some of the most popular lighting choices for YouTubers, vloggers and makeup artists.
