How Do Novices Choose Ring Lights?
Ring Light Size
As a novice, we can choose some basic ring lights. First of all, the size of the lamp must be large enough. Some cameras also have a ring of LED lights, but the diameter of the light ring is too small, and it is almost indistinguishable from point light sources. We generally choose ring lights for live broadcasting, ranging from 6 inch ring light with stand to 18 inch ring light with stand.
Ring Light Brightness
The second is to choose as high a brightness as possible, so that people can be bright enough within the effective focus distance of the camera. Many ring lights on the market now have a convenient color temperature adjustment function. You can lower the color temperature when you want the picture to be warmer, and increase the color temperature when you want it to be whiter.
Color Rendering Index of Ring Light
Pay attention to the color rendering index of the ring light, some merchants have marked and some are not marked. If you want to be a blogger of beauty makeup, and have high requirements for color accuracy, then the color rendering index of your lamp should be above 95.
Number of Ring Lights
The greater the number of LEDs, the greater the brightness and power. It is several times the brightness of traditional tungsten filament lamps. Therefore, when purchasing a ring light, you must pay attention to the actual number and power of the LED.
