NEEWER Ring Light 18inch Kit: 55W 5600K Professional LED with Stand and Phone Holder, Soft Tube & Bag for Tattoo Lash Extension Barber Makeup Artist Studio Video Photography Lighting, RL-18

This light is AMAZING... I bought the 18’ ring. It is super duper bright at 100% and a nice soft glow at it’s lowest %. It was easy to set up and it is very sturdy!! I am very impressed with this ring light!! I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews that it would easily topple over,, so that was a concern, that it might fall over on him. Not worried at all because it is sturdy.... if he crashes into it, it will fall but any tripod would. The goose neck tube is very strong and stiff. It also comes with a nice padded carrying case to keep the ring light safe I’m an avid Amazon customer and rely on reviews. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Had this for some years now and it’s marvelous. The brightest light .. I love the many positions that we can change the heights..it’s pretty sturdy.I am interested in some of the replacement parts that have cracked over time..

The media could not be loaded. This light is AMAZING... I bought the 18’ ring. It has the dimmer in a very convenient location, not in the back like some that I have seen, but under the ring so it’s easy to adjust while filming, if need be. I posted a video starting with a pitch black room so you can see how easy it is to use the dimmer knob and also see how bright it will get with no interfering light. It is super duper bright at 100% and a nice soft glow at it’s lowest %. It was easy to set up and it is very sturdy!! I am very impressed with this ring light!! My hairdresser had it in her salon and loved it, she told me it was great quality. She did not lie. I was looking for a ring light to film YouTube videos, so decided to give it a try. People saying it fell over or that their phone fell and shattered did not tighten all the knobs and screws, or maybe they were using the phone mount that comes with it. I made sure it was sturdy before attaching my phone. I happened to own a couple of high quality phone tripod mounts that I easily attached to this so I can’t say if the one that comes with this set is any good... I see that it uses tension to secure the phone, no screw tightening option. I do not trust that. The one I have clamps the phone and has screws that tighten the phone into the bracket securely. (Jansite or Riqiorod are the two brands I bought on Amazon that work perfectly) I would buy a high quality one to make sure your phone is secure. I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews that it would easily topple over, and I have a child, you can hear him in my review video, so that was a concern, that it might fall over on him. Not worried at all because it is sturdy.... if he crashes into it, it will fall but any tripod would. The goose neck tube is very strong and stiff. It also comes with a nice padded carrying case to keep the ring light safe. You cannot fit the tripod into the carrying case but I don’t mind, I would rather store it separately to prevent damaging the ring light. If the light suddenly stops working, I will update my review if the manufacturer does not replace it... but I gotta say that right now it works perfectly and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I’m an avid Amazon customer and rely on reviews.

Insanely bright and easy to travel with, condenses easily

I maintain a private web page of technical information and reviews, and have been trying to get more pictures added in to illustrate my choices of hardware and show walk-throughs of various construction projects. Lighting is always a problem for me though, and I bought this ring light recently to try to solve my problems of deep shadows, poor contrast, and glare. So far, this light has worked out really well in all those areas.The light is larger (wider) than the pictures in the listing suggest, and has a large number of individual LED modules in the ring, so it produces a very even lighting. I'm not using it for portraits so I don't need the orange diffuser or the remote. The body of the light is all plastic, which gives it a kind of cheap feel, but it's sturdy and being lightweight should help others. (it might not survive drops well, so be careful with it, make sure it doesn't get knocked over while in use) The stand is a thin metal which also feels a little cheap but that's good for the same reason as the body. The feet extend out quite a bit and create a surprisingly wide support base. Before i attached the diffuser, I found I was seeing speckles of light glare reflected off some of the shinier surfaces, but those "stars" all disappeared as soon as I attached the diffuser. I suppose the orange one creates better lighting for portrait pictures?It comes with a large power brick with an okay length cord. (could be a little longer, but that's not hard to fix with an extension cord) The dimmer is built into the bottom of the light, and has knob to turn to adjust brightness. The control does a great job of adjusting the brightness, and I love the feel of the knob, you can feel tiny "steps" as you turn the knob. It's also fully adjustable all the way down to completely off. Thankfully, the cord unplugs at the light, so I'm not struggling to manage a cord permanently attached to the ring.The light comes with several accessories for use with a regular camera as well as clipping a smart phone. There's also a little remote that I assume you can use with a downloaded app on your phone to trigger the shutter remotely, though I don't have any use for that and haven't checked it out. The light and accessories ship in a nice bag but the tripod is in its own box and cannot be stored in the bag that the light came with, which is a shame. But with the tripod fully collapsed, I've found it can be set snugly below your hand / on top of the bag as you carry it, so that will help with those that need portability. I would also suggest getting a small, stiff-walled zip pouch to carry the light's power pack and phone brackets with inside the main bag, because it has no inner pouch for these and just dropping them into the big bag to run around free is probably a bad plan.And not that I need it personally, but I think a battery pack option would be a very useful accessory with this light, which would improve its portability. The pack is 15vdc 4 amps, which may make finding a battery pack a challenge since I'd expect 12v power to be more common.So this is a great light for the price. There are only a few minor issues with it that can be addressed if needed, totally acceptable considering this light is like 1/3 the price of a more professional set with similar features and performance.

Just got this and it was very easy to set up, but I've set these up before so if you've never done it, it may take a little more effort to get the tripod stand just right and all the pieces together properly. I wish the connecting pieces were metal not plastic, but it still seems to tighten enough and stands pretty sturdy. the light is nice and bright with a dial for adjusting. Great for videos, zoom calls etc.... I am glad I spent a little more for the 18" ring light
