Raya Bendie-Brite Folding Bi-Color Ring Light (18')

This ring light works great. It gives a really nice, soft and consistent light for faces, which is perfect for zoom calls, vlogs, testimonials or whenever you need a soft pretty light. And it is super bright for its size and cost. I'm really impressed with the amount of light it provides. This can really come in handy if you are battling against a bright background or sunlight coming into a room. I love that it has controls for brightness and color temperature. Being able to dial in the brightness of the light with a dimmer dial is essential when you want a beauty light. It has a smooth dimmer, allowing you to set the exact brightness to remove dark shadows or hot spots on the subject. And having control of the color temperature is also necessary, so you can use it in all available lighting. Set it to for indoor lighting (warm/orange) to match those lights in the room, or go more blue if there is daylight in the room etc.. By matching the color temperature of the lighting in the room, you can get a more consistent look. The color temperature dial lets you go from 2700 (orange) all the way to 5600 (blue) and any color in between. This is always great to have in a light. There is also a memory feature so you can store the settings of the light, so if you need to power down, you can turn it on and go right back to the same brightness and color temperature you had. That's a great feature. The phone holder worked well with just the right amount of tension to position it where you need it to be. I loved that it had 4 different cold shoes. Two on top and two on the bottom of the ring. This allows you to add accessories where you want, like an external mic, makeup mirror, arm, ball head, etc. This is really handy. Being able to run on ac power or battery is fantastic. Comes with the power supply. And I love to have a battery option. Makes moving the light around super easy. This light also has a battery display to let you know when they are losing power which is useful. The included remote control is a great addition. This is perfect when you are working alone and you're the one on camera, like when vlogging, or on a zoom call. You can control the brightness and color temperature while in position without the need to run back and forth to use the controls on the light. This is fantastic. And finally I love that this light folds and all the accessories fit it into its compact, well-made case. Having a compact case to keep everything together not only protects the light when traveling, but also makes sure all the necessary parts stay together and don't get lost or forgotten. I love that. Overall I think this is a fantastic light.
