When choosing a ring light for your TikToks and Intsagram reels you will want to consider the specs, the build quality and the additional components that it may come with.
Specs and Performance
When looking for a ring light there are a variety of specs that you will have to pay attention to. The lumens measure the level of brightness the light can give off. It is recommended to have somewhere between 1500 lumens to 2500 lumens to use for TikTok and Instagram reels. However, some ring lights on the market do not have this spec available when purchasing but typically, ring light sizes between 10” and 14” will have sufficient brightness.
Your ring light should have color temperature change from colder spec like 3000k to a warmer one like 6500k. This will help your light to adjust to the lighting in the room you are recording in and taking photos in.
Build Quality
You will have to consider the quality of the tripod and make sure it can hold up the ring light itself comfortably. When angling the ring light to your desired position you will need the tripod to remain in a stationary position.
Additional Components
When purchasing a ring light there are some bonus items that will make making your TikTok and Instagram content easier. The Bluetooth shutter remote is very convenient for recording and taking photos from the tip of your finger when your phone is on the ring light.
The adjustable phone holder must be able to hold your phone. When purchasing a ring light find out what the dimensions are for the phone holder and match them to the size of your smartphone.
All ring lights do not come with a power adapter therefore, you will need to find out if it’s in the package. It is not necessary since some ring lights uses USB if the power adapter is not in the ring light package. Ring lights that use USB are most likely more portable and can plug in anywhere on the go.
