Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you certainly can! A camera (DSLR included) can be mounted in the centre of the ring light, or at the front.

This default ring light kit is designed to be a floor standing unit. However, you may purchase our weighted table base separately if you would like to sit this ring light on a table.

If you're after extra height, we also have our gooseneck attachment.

A ring light can be used to dramatically enhance and brighten content. It can reduce dullness and shadows whilst providing photos and videos a crisp, sharp finish.

Made up of hundreds of smaller LED lights to form a circle, a ring light is used by makeup and hair artists, YouTubers, beauty enthusiasts, content creators, tattoo artists and other content creators to produce higher quality images and videos.

In short, neither a ring light nor a soft box is better. However, some may be more suited towards certain projects.

Benefits of a ring light include:

  1. Being able to place a phone or camera in the middle of the ring light, making it super easy to take content whilst leveraging the effect of the light
  2. Much more portable and lightweight
  3. The light is more direct and targeted whereas a softbox's light is more spread out

Whilst a ring light is more suitable for YouTubers, makeup tutorials, in-salon use, vlogs and freelance makeup artists, a softbox is preferred for cinematic use.

Our 18" ring light is our most popular tool for YouTubers, makeup tutorials and Tik Tok videos. Made up of 480 LED lights and 9800 lmns, this is the widest and brightest light in the Etoile Collective ring light collection.

With automatic brightness and temperature dials, content creators can now easily adjust the lighting to suit their environment.

    Ring light tripod stand

    Such great value and seems to be really sturdy compared to my previous stand from Luvo. Plus this stand comes with its own carry case! Bonus for me as a travelling hair & makeup artist, makes carrying so much easier with all of my other gear.

    Better than perfect

    I can't believe I didn't buy this years ago! Arrived in no time and set-up was easy. Looks amazing, it takes pride of place in my room. I don't take anywhere near as long with my makeup now and always 100% pleased with the result. The app is amazing too, it's all I use now for selfies :)
