Zoom Lighting for Computer,Ring Light Clip on Laptop Monitor

I'm always leery of inexpensive products like this because we've all experienced "you get what you pay for" and often the thing stops working in just a few months. This review is being written just a few weeks after purchase, so if something happens later and the light loses its mind and stops working I'll update. BUT as of right now, I am really happy with it. Controls and Brightness The control is a single switch on the cord, which offers SEVEN levels of brightness, and FIVE color options from very warm light to very cool. The Cord The cord is quite long (although you can see I just have it plugged into my laptop so I haven't unwrapped the majority of the cord. However you can also unwrap the cord and plug into a wall if you're out of USB ports or if you need it for lighting phone videos from the side. Size It is larger in diameter than I imagined, which is kind of cool. It's about 4" across, and the lighted part is almost an inch wide. You can see the size in relation to my 13" MacBook in the photo. Clamp The clamp itself is impressively heavy duty. It's about 2.5 inches tall and the spring is TIGHT. I was almost afraid to clamp it to the top edge of my laptop because I was concerned it might break the glass of my screen. Note that it has a soft felt material on the inside of the clamp where it touches the laptop screen. Overall In a nutshell, this is my favorite ring light. Note that it's not appropriate for PHONES as a selfie light because the clamp is large and it's too big. But you could plug it in and clamp it onto something else if you wanted to use it for selfies.

This is an excellent solution for poor lighting on video chats. The clip is sturdy and strong enough to hold itself onto the laptop screen, just to the side of the webcam and the light is adjustable in every direction to enable lighting other areas or at different angles. After adjusting angles, the screw that holds it in place where you select never slips. The cable is long enough for all kinds of things and the multi-function button is on the cable so you can't lose it or anything. There are two types of light available, which is useful as white light can clash with ambient yellow light on camera making you look sickly or pale. The brightness is also adjustable using the multifunction buttons so you can adjust to what you need based on where you are. Another valuable point, for me anyway, is that the ring-light is light-weight and easy to pack with you places. I bring mine to school with me often so that I'm able to make videos of myself signing in ASL for my classes at school (I'm majoring in ASL Interpreting right now) and the light makes my signs much more visible on camera - especially the details of fingerspelling. As an entry-level ring light, I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend for anyone who wants to look more natural and better-lit in their video chats, vlog or other kind of video recordings.

Product works and easy to use. I wish it was a bit brighter. If you sit more than a few inches away, it doesn’t light your face extremely well. However, it is far better than what I had before, so I’ll consider it a win.

The Video Conference Ring Light has truly transformed my video calls! It clips easily onto my monitor, providing the perfect amount of adjustable light for a clear, professional look. Now, I can see myself clearly, and others can see me just as well – no more shadows or dim lighting! The brightness settings are super easy to adjust for different times of day, and it’s lightweight yet sturdy. If you’re looking to up your video call game, this light is a must-have. Highly recommend for anyone who spends time on Zoom or other video platforms!

I've recently found myself voluntarily unemployed (there's a saying that goes, you'll never regret quitting a job you hate---true words!), and am now actively interviewing. Most organizations today are going the virtual interview route, rather than in-person, and with the virtual video interview format, one almost needs to be a cinematographer as well as a job candidate. Lighting is SO important to presenting oneself well in a video interview, and that's the reason for my purchase. . The lighting where I conduct my interviews can leave something to be desired, so I bought this light and I'm GLAD I DID! For something so small, it has a variety of light brightness settings and types to choose from. It has a STURDY clamp to attach to a monitor or laptop and it plugs into a USB. It's adjustable for position too. Having this light, I no longer need to deal with moving lights around for interviews. I've even used it a a desk light. This a TERRIFIC little light!!---now wish my luck with the job hunt!

It really is a great little light and did not damage my device at all. But it was cumbersome to not be able to detach from the charger and it died in less than a year. I did love the many lighting settings though. I might buy it again because of the lighting settings. But it would be nice if it lasted longer.

Ok, so this isn't a high quality piece but for the money it works great. The clip holds it securely and the cable is thin and flimsy but I haven't had any issues with durability or function. In terms of how it works, great. Seriously, the additional light (and ability to make it brighter or dimmer) makes a HUGE improvement in video calls. How well does it work? Well, my wife stole mine when she saw it and I had to buy her one of her own just to get it back (yes, you're not going to want to go back to poorly lit ZOOM calls after you start using one of these).

While this is not an expensive product, don’t waste your money. I purchased this about six months ago to provide more light when I host telehealth sessions with my clients. I take very good care of all of my belongings. To ensure this light was protected and secure, I kept in a case whenever not in use. Nevertheless, it has stopped functioning, and as you can see from the photos, it’s due to the wiring already coming apart. I reached out to Amazon, who instructed me to contact the manufacturer directly. I have reached out to the manufacturer a couple of times, and have not received any response. Terrible customer service. I was intentionally waiting to write a review to give them ample time to resolve my concern, but they have failed so therefore I am writing this review. I only gave them one star because while the light worked, I thought it was great, providing a variety of great lighting options. But the short lifespan and lack of customer service ruined it for me.

Did exactly what it should have done (chased the shadows away) and was small enough that I could clip it anywhere and not have to worry about it.

Cheap price and it does the job well
