    Tips for Using a Ring Light for Video Conferencing
    Ring lights offer the benefit of spreading the total area of your light source over a large surface. Rather than having the same light output in a small compact unit (such as a flashlight), the illumination is moved away from the center of the device out to the edges. A larger light source in relation to the subject creates softer shadows, more even illumination on the subject (that’s you) by eliminating the typical “hot spot” in the middle of most standard light sources.

    A Guide to Savage LED Ring Lights
    Whether for recreational or professional purposes, quality lighting is vital for live streaming or vlogging. Photo and video content creators widely consider ring lights as “go-to” solutions for great reasons: Ring lights provide a relatively large light source for a single subject. This helps to create softer, more flattering light across the subject’s face. When positioned straight on, the wide surface area (without a center hotspot) virtually eliminates wrinkles, fine lines and under-eye shadows. Bi-color capable lights allow users to dial in to a color temperature to best complement their complexion or coordinate with warm ambient room lighting. LED lights are ultra long-lasting, run much cooler than conventional steady lights, and require little to no maintenance. Savage offers an array of LED ring lights and accessories suited for beginners through advanced users. Compare specs below to find the best one for your needs!

    Top 5 Advantages of LED Lights for Photography
    Instead of adjusting your camera settings and your processing to your film, you can choose the LED lighting that fits your needs. LED lights for photography are available in either daylight or tungsten balance, as well as bi-color. While your eyes cannot always see the difference between one light and another, your camera can. By shooting with the right LED lighting, you can capture colors that look far more like they do in real life, saving you post-processing time later on. Many LED lights are also dimmable and can be brightened or lowered by remote control, giving you more control over the brightness of the lighting you are using.
