If you don't want to spend too much on your lighting rig, then this simple ring light from Whellen should be right up your alley. While it doesn't offer anything fancy, it can clip onto your laptop or monitor and does a nice job at lighting up your face. There are three levels of brightness  and all you need to power it is two AA batteries.

Of course, you could always just get an HD webcam that has lights built-in if you don't need the best lighting possible. And the Kiyo webcam from Razer is just that---a high-quality USB webcam with a built-in ring light. It records in 1080p HD, so the video quality itself won't suffer, and you can adjust the light's strength through Razer Synapse. While the lighting you get from this webcam won't be as good as some of the other options listed here, rolling your webcam and lighting rig into one product simplifies your setup---the Kiyo can even fold-up for easy storage when not in use.

Ring lights are great, simple lighting solutions that evenly spread light across your entire face, and at 10-inches, this model from UBeesize is a great size for a desk setup. The included tripod is excellent if you want to set the light on the floor or behind your monitors, and there's even a mount for your phone (great if you're using it as your webcam). And with 33 levels of brightness, you should have no trouble finding the right setting for you. For power, It just plugs into your computer via a USB cord, so there's no need to worry about batteries.

If you change location frequently, a more elaborate lighting rig isn't the best idea. That's why this LED light from Jelly Comb is so great. While it still features a powerful LED light (which is also customizable in both brightness and warmth with the on-device buttons), the more notable feature is the included mounts. One is a suction cup that can be stuck to the back of monitors or a wall, while the other is a small tripod for resting the light on your desk. It also features an internal battery that can be charged through a USB cable.

But maybe you want something that can sit on your desk without looking out of place. Well then, TaoTonics has the product for you, as its LED desk lamp can provide a good amount of light without being an eyesore. There are five different brightness and color settings to choose between, you can swivel the lamp to light up the correct area, it plugs into a wall outlet, and it even includes a wireless phone charger built into the base. On top of that, the sleek, minimalist design is a welcome sight in any office.

The Ring Bridge also allows you to connect your lights to select Alexa-enabled devices, so you can hear announcements, turn on Ring Lights when motion is detected, and adjust the settings at the sound of your voice.

Without the Ring Bridge, Ring Lights will shine as soon as motion is detected or the light is turned on, but you won’t be able to customize your settings. You also will not be able to pair your Ring Lights into groups, receive notifications, or connect Ring Lights to other compatible Ring or Alexa-enabled devices.

The Ring Bridge is required to enable smart controls and notifications for Ring Lights, pair Ring Lights together, and connect them to Ring Doorbells, Cameras, and select Alexa-enabled devices.

Your Ring Bridge should be placed indoors within reach of a good Wi-Fi signal and in a centrally-located place relative to your Ring Lights. Best practice is not to install it in a metal cabinet or closet, but to leave it out in the open so the signal is not restricted.
