The 10" Bi-Color LED Ring Light Kit with Table Top Tripod and Ball Head from Vidpro is a unique light source that allows photographers and videographers to fully explore their creative potential. Because of its unusual circular construction, the fixture renders a soft, nearly shadowless look that is flattering to skin tones and seems to bathe your subject in light. Although the ring light comes with a receiver that is ready for stand mounting, its has a full, more pronounced effect when you shoot with the lens in the center aperture of the light. The ring light conveniently dims in three steps and runs barely warm to the touch, removing any worry about subject discomfort. Color is variable in three steps from 3200 to 5000K to match room light or any ambient light situation. Widely compatible, the ring light is also useful for close-up macro shots, product and food photography, and detailed tabletop work. The light is USB-powered for portability.
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 $18.95.
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.
Pay attention to Color Temperature (Kelvins) to set the mood; warm light for living spaces, cool light for workspaces. Lumens dictate brightness, not watts. For permanent fixtures, decide if you want replaceable bulbs or an integrated LED (sleeker, but disposable).
Fixtures last decades. LED bulbs integrated into fixtures typically last 15-20 years.
