For years to illuminate myself for Zoom meetings I've use a collection of 4 different desk lamps to light my face. I finally decided to unclutter my desk and use one light source, so I tried this ring light. It works very well! If you have a free-standing monitor, the mounting hardware that comes with this works well to balance on top of the monitor in much the same way that web-cams do. It's not permanently attached but it is fairly secure. If you wear glasses, however, this ring light is small enough to reflect into your webcam as circles where your eyes should be. I have it off to the side a bit so the angle allows the web-cam to see my eyes without the light reflected in them. I have a need to move it slightly back from my laptop (which I use as my main office computer) so I needed to purchase an extendable tripod (there are some available for not much money which work very well). Some other lights have more variety than this light but I find that the variety possible with this light is all that I need -- it's either warm white or bright white, and there are 10 levels of intensity for each of the two temperatures of light. The switch is in the middle of the cable and the power button glows blue when it's plugged into a USB power source (I have it plugged into a powered hub) but turned off which makes it easy to locate in a darker room. Once the light is turned on the blue highlight goes out. For the price this is an excellent value and may be the only light you need for online meetings. Read more
I like the versatility of the angles for this light. Perched over the monitor, it really adjusts in all directions to provide just the right amount of light for a workspace or ambient lighting for a virtual meeting. Read more
This is a great little ring light — big enough to make a noticeable difference, but not so big that it takes over your desk. The brightness and color settings are easy to adjust, and it really improved how I look on camera for recordings and video calls. The only slightly tricky part is getting it positioned exactly where you want it. Once you take a moment to set it right, though, it stays put just fine. I also like that it’s USB-powered, so no batteries to mess with, and it’s small enough to toss in a bag if I want to bring it somewhere. Overall, it’s a simple, effective upgrade for better lighting — and my “Zoom face” is thanking me. Read more
Love these mini ring lights! 💡 They make my videos and Zoom meetings look so much more professional. The glow is super flattering and not too harsh. Easy to use, no mess, and the fact that they’re USB powered makes them perfect for on the go. Definitely a must-have if you like creating content or want great lighting on camera. Read more
I was happy with this ring light. It attached well to the top of my screen and seems very secure. I like all of the different light options and strengths. It was a great option for the price! It seem very sturdy too. Read more
I’m not a streamer, nor am I doing make-up tutorials on social media. I just wanted a little fill-in light for videoconferencing with coworkers. Pros: This light is perfectly adequate, more than bright enough, has selectable color temperatures, and was able to really improve picture quality and make me look much less haggard and sickly in video streams. It’s small and portable and would work well for a mobile professional with a laptop on the go. Cons: It just isn’t well-designed for desktop use. The monitor mount is deeper than most modern bezels, I had to wedge it up to not cover the screen. The USB-A cord is permanently attached and can’t be replaced and is relatively short, I had to find an extension. It doesn’t come with a power adapter, I had to find a spare. The controls are halfway down the cord, I was working on a solution to attach this where it would remain accessible…then realized I was doing a lot to force this to work for a use case it just wasn’t designed for and decided to return it for something better designed for desktop use. If you’re looking for a bit of face lighting for your mobile office, this little light is a good value. If you’re set-up with a home office and a desk where you’re looking to semi-permanently add some lighting, I recommend looking for a better option. Read more
Works great at the office clips on and stays on. Portable, lightweight, and good quality for the money. Read more
This light is easy to connect and easy to use. It has 2 modes, daylight and a softer evening tone. Brightness is adjustable. Having to go on camera for work, I appreciate the options to make me feel like I look better on camera. Read more
