Super Bright 12 " Ring Light

This UBeesize 12" ring light is very bright and easy to adjust. Unlike other smaller ring lights that are USB powered, this light has a dedicated 20W power supply and can emit tons of light with five different color temperatures and ten different brightness levels. The included tripod is also easily adjustable, allowing the stand and light to be raised from a table height of around 6ft to over 6ft. For around $30, you get a lot for your money as it comes with a large 12-inch flashlight, an adjustable stand (up to 67 inches tall), an adjustable and secure phone holder, and a Bluetooth remote control. I've been using it daily for the past few weeks and nothing is missing; I can highly recommend this lamp. Of the various options I've used, this UBeesize 12-inch ring light is the most functional and versatile. I have another UBeesize 8" ring light that I really like too. The smaller 8" light is USB powered, isn't as bright and doesn't offer as many color temperature settings (3 on the 8" and 5 on the 12" model). The smaller 8" light has controls along the cord, while this light is controlled entirely by controls under the ring. In many ways, the smaller 8" flashlight is great for up-close video calls or It's preferable for small workspaces because it's not as bright and you can adjust it with a cord without having to reach for the light source. However, the 12" light source is large and bright enough to be used as a key or main light for portraits or lighting of large rooms, and can also be scaled down for closer use.I used the 12" backlight on my desk for Zoom calls and found myself using it on one of the three ni lowest levels (of 10 possible). The ability to fully mount your phone or camera within the larger 12-inch ring means you're guaranteed bright, even light around your subject. And the stand that comes with this 12 inch light is very tall, nearly two meters tall with the 12 inch light mounted on a 67 inch stand. But you can't go wrong with any of the UBeesize ring lights, and I only recommend choosing the one that best suits your specific needs. If you're looking for something ultra light and portable, or can run on USB power, this probably isn't the light for you. However, if you are looking for an inexpensive, well-regulated and powerful lamp, this is the one for you. The included USB camera/video trigger is also a big bonus and helps limit the need for editing when you can remotely start and stop video recording. As a psychologist working from home during the pandemic, I've used several different ring lights to brighten my face for the sessions. This 12 inch flashlight is by far the largest, brightest, most powerful and most adjustable flashlight I have ever used. Thanks to UBeesize for sending the light for testing; I would buy the lamp again with my own money and can warmly recommend it.
