USB powered lights are also quite common and these are great for keeping cable clutter to a minimum.The light is daylight white balanced by default but it comes with a set of filters for indoor and mixed lighting situations. If you plan on using your ring light with a smartphone or digital camera then you may want to check whether any mounts are included.

However, unlike a lot of large lights, it features a solid desk-mounting stand, rather than a traditional tripod, which means it’s easier to position and takes up no floor space. Larger ring lights also facilitate a greater working distance, so you don’t need to position them as close to your subject. If your work is colour-critical, it’s also worth looking up the CRI rating as this will let you know how colour accurate subjects will appear under the light. The light features a clamp so you can mount it directly on your laptop, monitor, or the edge of your desk with no need for an additional stand. It features a compact, pocketable design with a clip with which it can be attached to just about any smartphone or tablet.

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.
