Ring lights for photography

Ring lights for photography light up your face evenly and softly, without harsh shadows, and create the typical round catchlight in your eyes. They’re great for selfies, make-up, video calls, livestreams and short videos. Choose from large ring lights on stands, smaller desk models and compact clip-on lights for your phone.

Ring lights for photography

For a home studio, beauty salon or livestreams, LED ring lights with stands measuring 26, 45 or 48 cm across work best. The stand extends to about 1.5 to 2 m, and there’s a phone holder in the middle of the ring, sometimes even three. You set the brightness and colour temperature, from warm to cool white, right on the controller.

On your desk, smaller lights with a short stand or swivel arm are ideal for video calls, online classes or recipe videos. When travelling or at parties, clip-on selfie lights are handy, as they attach straight to your phone, tablet or laptop. They have several brightness levels, warm or cool light, and run on a built-in battery charged via USB or on AA batteries.

Besides the classic ring, there’s also a heart-shaped light and handheld LED lights with a grip, suited to beauty salons. Models with RGB modes and colour filters add colour effects to short videos for social media. Some kits include a remote shutter for your phone.
