18 Inch Ring Lights

Large format lighting for studio setups

When a standard desk lamp isn't enough to cover a wide scene, these 18 in models provide the necessary scale. These lights are designed to sit on tall tripod stands, often reaching over 70 in, to cast a broad and even glow across a subject. They are common fixtures in hair salons and photography studios where shadows need to be minimized across the entire face or torso.

The sheer size of these rings allows for a camera or smartphone to be mounted directly in the center, creating that signature circular reflection in the eyes. Because these units use large LED arrays, they often stay cool during long filming sessions for YouTube or TikTok, making them a practical choice for creators who spend hours under the lights.

Choosing a heavy duty ring light

If you need to match the ambient light of a sunny room or a warm indoor space, look for the bi-color models in this collection. Clicking through to a specific brand page will show how their mounting brackets and power supplies are configured for daily studio use.
