The 3.5-inch light clips right onto your phone or laptop. If you’re using it for the front-facing camera, the bottom half of the light will cover part of your screen, while the top half sits above your phone. That may sound annoying, but in use, it doesn’t block any important part of the screen — it never covered the other person while on a video call, and it essentially covers the same amount of space at the top of the phone as a drop-down notification, so you still see almost the entire field of view.

To compile our testing pool, we read reviews, searched Amazon for the top-rated ring lights and looked at companies known for their lighting equipment. We then established parameters to test, looking in particular at brightness, color options and results in photos and videos.

Long used by professional portrait and macro photographers as well as makeup artists, and perfect for selfies, streaming, vlogging and most photo and video tasks, they have become favorites of social media influencers and content creators of all kinds. But you don’t have to be a top Twitch streamer or overnight TikTok sensation to appreciate being cast in a better light on Zoom calls — they’re also the perfect addition to work-from-home office setups.

Like our overall winner, though much more compact, the Whellen offers three different lighting options: warm, cool or a combination of the two — more than some of the larger and more expensive lights we tested. The cool setting is bright white, and the warm setting carries an orange tint. Even in the darkest of rooms or during nighttime use, both the warm light option and cool light options worked well, though we found the mix of both looked most natural and flattering.

Ultimately, the EMart 10-Inch Selfie Ring Light, thanks to its adjustability and various lighting options, was the best of the bunch we tested. Whether you’re using this light for a professional appearance in virtual meetings or for fun and creative content making, this is a great option. Plus, for a combo of light and tripod, the $35.40 price is relatively low while delivering high-quality results.

Neewer Ring Light

Oct 10, 2024 — Ring has introduced Smart Video Search, a new AI feature that makes it easier to find specific moments in a Ring system's video history.

But what, er, shone brightest during our tests was the flattering light cast by the EMart, which came across as natural sunlight in both portraits and selfies. That’s made possible by the light’s three light modes (there’s warm, cool and a nice mix of the two) along with 11 brightness levels for each mode (the most settings of any of the lights we tested). In photos taken during both day and night, the lighting gave us high-quality images, highlighting everything it was supposed to without producing distracting shadows. Even on its brightest setting, the light isn’t overbearing, so it’s not too distracting to use for video calls.

This option from Movo was different from all of the other lights we tested; the stand mount looks like a large chip clip, which lets you mount it to anything you can grab (the edge of a shelf or monitor, for instance), and holds three flexible, bendable arms, one of which holds the light, another a phone holder and the third a mounting point for an audio recorder, camera or other object. The lighting provided by this ring light was really crisp, but overall it isn’t as functional as the other portable lights we tested since it doesn’t simply sit atop a desk. But if you have a desk where you can clip it into place, this is definitely a great option.

The Whellen Selfie Ring Light is extremely lightweight and small, so it easily fits in pockets, purses, backpacks — you name it. We stuffed it in a purse while grocery shopping, and even with keys, a phone, a wallet and some spare change around it, the light didn’t so much as get scratched.

The light has only one button, which toggles through the light settings. If you hold down the button while on any of the light modes, the light will dim so you can easily adjust brightness levels. Most other lights we tested required clicking through for different brightness levels, so the slow dim was a nice touch for the Whellen Selfie Ring Light. Once the light is at its dimmest, you can click and hold the top button again for it to come back to brighter levels until you reach the brightest setting.

Still, for just $16.99, the Whellen’s multiple light settings and ease of use make it one of the best ring lights out there — especially if you’re looking for something portable.

The Whellen’s clip has rubber padding on the reverse side to prevent it from scratching your screen. And even with a case, we had no trouble fitting the clip on our phone (we were using the Incipio Organicore case, which adds 3.7 millimeters to the phone’s thickness).

The EMart’s tripod can expand up to 50 inches in height but can collapse down to 19 inches, a perfect height to use on your desktop with your computer or tuck it behind your laptop. This flexibility gave the EMart major bonus points, as it was the only ring light we tested that peeked above laptop height even at its lowest setting. That means you can still use it straight on, as opposed to the others that you have to use off to the side a bit, which can lead to unwanted shadows.

This is a bright LED light that has a cold shoe mount for a camera, a tripod mount and a magnetic back to attach to other surfaces, but it isn’t easily usable with a phone, and you’ll have to supply a small tripod to use it with a laptop. Meant more for serious photographers, the light itself is hard to set up, uses a proprietary charger as opposed to a standard USB charger, is overwhelmingly bright and is expensive to boot.

Battery life is the only aspect that left us wanting. It took about an hour for the USB-powered light to fully charge, and lasted about an hour and a half. While on par with the entire field (almost all averaged the same life span), the included USB charging cable is only 10 inches long. So while other lights can remain plugged in while in use, you’ll have to supply your own cable to do this with the Whellen.

This is a good desktop option if you’re looking for a ring light to use while applying makeup, while filming videos or during virtual meetings. The tripod included is very short, so it sits at a good height on a desk but doesn’t adjust tall enough for use with a laptop’s built-in camera. It comes with a phone holder alongside a mirror for applying makeup, which was an added bonus. This light also gives you the option to mix warm and cool light at different levels with an indicator on the back. It lost points, however, because the tripod included is short and minimally adjustable. Plus, the light is much larger than the base, making it awkward and somewhat difficult to put together.

The EMart comes with two phone holders. One of them is quite handy, clipping onto the thinnest part of the tripod stand with a small metal clasp that wraps around the pole; it can hold your phone vertically or horizontally. The second phone holder is a tripod mount, which means to use it with the EMart you’ll need a second tripod or stand since the ring light itself also uses the tripod as a light stand. We would have preferred to see a single mount that let you place both the phone and the light on the tripod mount, positioning the phone in the center of the ring. This isn’t a deal breaker since the other phone holder gives you plenty of options, but it is annoying nonetheless.

This light was smaller than the other portable ring lights we tested but lacked in performance. The photos we took with this light seemed to have a white film over them that made them look unnatural or poorly edited. It’s more expensive than the Whellen Selfie Ring Light but didn’t provide nearly as good results.

Tiny but mighty, the Godox LEDM32 Smartphone Mini Light has a small clip on the back that fits easily on a phone and provided an extremely bright light. The light was almost blindingly bright, in fact, but the brightness could be adjusted using the plus and minus buttons on the top of the light. It charged really quickly, with the battery lasting almost two hours. The light looked great in photos and worked really well for video calls, but overall was overly bright and distracting during use.

Ring lights are available in many sizes and setups, from DSLR-friendly models meant to be mounted on tripods or light stands to miniature versions you can stick to smartphones, so over the course of a month we tested eight top-rated ring lights to determine which provided the best overall lighting for everyday users, with two taking top honors.

From the outset, the EMart ring light is extremely easy to use. The light, which is wide enough to use with most cameras itself simply screws onto the included tripod, which has three collapsible sections. The base upon which the light sits can turn 360 degrees around and you can pivot the light 180 degrees up or down, which ensures you get the perfect angle to decrease shadows when taking a photo or lighting yourself during virtual meetings. A Bluetooth remote is included to control the light’s setting if you place it at a distance.

The EMart 10-Inch Selfie Ring Light ticks all the boxes for what you’d want in a ring light: It’s got tons of adjustability in terms of setup and lighting options, a lightweight design and can be used in multiple ways with a variety of cameras, making it a great option whether you’re setting it atop your desk for video calls or need some overhead lighting so no weird shadows creep into your photos. It brings it all together at an affordable price point, making it a clear winner among the ring lights we tested.

Though this Kodak ring light provided flattering light with all three of its brightness levels, we noticed the brightness of the light starting to fade after the ring light was left on for longer than 30 minutes. It did, however, fit really well on our phone with or without a case, though it doesn’t fit well on thicker cases.

20221025 — The magnification of a simple magnifier is the ratio of 250 mm divided by the lens focal length. 250 mm is chosen by common convention as the closest distance.

Ring lights are exactly what they sound like: strips of LEDs built into a halo-like apparatus. By placing your camera, webcam or smartphone in the center of the ring, you minimize shadows and get flattering light that seems to come from everywhere, without creating shadows, harsh lines or distracting reflections. They’re perfect tools for making you look good on camera.
