How to choose
Choosing the right light
Check the diameter
Small 3.5 in to 6 in lights work well for close-up video calls, while 12 in to 18 in rings provide a softer glow for photography.
Consider the power source
Choose a rechargeable model if you film on the go, or a USB-powered light for a permanent desk setup.
