The Ulanzi Overhead Ring Light Set is a lighting and fixture solution designed for overhead shooting. It features a 10" diameter ring light and a stand that extends to a maximum height of approximately 32", allowing you to illuminate and capture subjects from above. This set is particularly well-suited for applications such as food vlogging, where overhead lighting and camera angles are beneficial.
Pay attention to Color Temperature (Kelvins) to set the mood; warm light for living spaces, cool light for workspaces. Lumens dictate brightness, not watts. Available from $32.99.
LED lighting has drastically reduced the energy cost of illuminating homes. The main ownership cost is replacing burnt-out bulbs, though integrated LED fixtures require replacing the entire fixture upon failure. Smart bulbs incur a slightly higher upfront cost and use trace standby power.
Common Failure Modes
Traditional bulbs simply burn out. Modern LED bulbs usually fail at the driver (circuitry) before the light-emitting diodes die, causing flickering or dead bulbs. Integrated LED fixtures fail entirely and cannot be repaired, only replaced.

Fixtures last decades. LED bulbs integrated into fixtures typically last 15-20 years.
