NEEWER RB18B 18" Edge-Lit LED Cordless Ring Light Kit with Stand

This is by far an outstanding piece of lighting equipment that performs so well, I can set some of my other lighting tools to the side. It's also built for holding a smart device in the center of it. With the remotes included, it's more than enough lighting for single subject shots and videos of yourself. After just letting it run, my body didn't mistify from extra heat. Yet, the light output is like turning on the sun just at 50 percent in a 9 x12 space. It definitely lights up a larger studioFor upfront lighting, it has to be turned down and that's wonderful. This is greater lumens comparability than the multiple light stands I have with the bonus of being able to store different settings for use later.The controls allow changing the temperature and intensity of the ring light - the light is everywhere and even making the additional shades & filters not as necessary. It's an all in one powerful enough to merge backlighting, or it's settings makes professional lighting that assists the camera naturally wash out a background. This ring light is very adjustable.The stand is average, high quality and easily bears the weight of a device placed inside the the stand. A flexi-tripod is included and the light has two other slots for bigger projects utilizing multiple devices.The newer and best to me is the lithium battery. After charging, it's a wireless powerful light source. It can be taken outside - no wires. It feels safer to use in general since there isn't a power line to trip over. If out somewhere, the search for a power outlet in the right spot is no more. The rear also has an extra way to plug in the recording device or extra microphone to keep them charged during operation, too.Overall as kit, it's professional quality and it comes with a protective carrying case. Everything folds and fits perfectly and few could believe that its containing a such powerful lighting. It's innovative to me, it's not a bare glass that heats up the room, it lights up the room. With its multi-function controls makes even the worst makeup applications look stellar. Lighting can be everything, this light can be at a distance or up-close without having to reposition it. The remote or it's panel control has the settings that are easy to use and adds speed to calibration the camera for the desired effects.

I am an actor who does a lot of self tapes. I had the previous version of this with the cords and the snap on plastic to change the color temperature. It was clunky and did the job, but a hassle to take out and put away and to deal with the whole set up. This new one is quite a bit pricier, but so worth it! The wireless functionality allows you to move it around at will. I love that you can see the exact intensity and color temperature and always know where you had it for a particular shoot. I've only used it for one SelfTape since I've gotten it, but it was such a joy to use so much sleeker and even the carrying case makes more sense and it's easier to access. Five stars!A couple of things to note: even with the last one I used my light stand. I haven't opened this one yet, so I don't know if it's any sturdier than before, but even if it's not, the light is lighter and easier to handle in general so the lights stand might be OK.I also have the phone holder on there in the picture, but I do not use it. I prefer to set my phone up on a tripod to make it easier to have the light at a different elevation than the camera.

SOLID– Bright, even edge lighting with excellent color quality– Built-in battery means no hunting for an outlet– Wide color temperature range for different environments– Tripod is sturdy and easy to adjust– Makes photos and videos look noticeably more professional– Great for product photography, reviews, streaming, or content creationSUSPECT– 18" ring light takes up a decent amount of storage space– Battery adds weight compared to plug-in-only models– Overkill if you only need a small desk lightEXPERIENCEI honestly don't even remember ordering this, but I'm glad I did.I review a lot of products, and having a dedicated, bright, consistent light makes a huge difference. Before this, I'd just chase whatever decent natural light I could find around the house. Now I can set products down anywhere and get clean, evenly lit photos whenever I want.I'm definitely not a professional photographer, but this thing makes me feel like one. The lighting is soft, even, and bright enough that my photos immediately looked better without having to mess around with editing afterward.The built-in battery is another feature I didn't realize I'd appreciate so much. Being able to carry it wherever I need it instead of worrying about extension cords makes setting up for reviews incredibly easy.If you create content, sell online, livestream, or just want better-looking photos, this is one of those tools that quietly improves everything you do.VERDICTSolid Buy – One of those accessories you don't realize you needed until you start using it. My review photos have never looked better. It's a bit pricier than I would normally spring for, but I'd say its a great value.PRO TIPPosition the light slightly above and about 45° off-center from your subject instead of directly in front. You'll get much more natural-looking photos with better depth and fewer reflections.

I’m a hobbyist photographer who has been slowly adding to her kit through the years. I’ve wanted to add lighting so that some day I may take my hobby and turn it into my profession. I’ve purchased other Neewer products and have been quite happy with them. Their 18” ring light is no exception.The tripod is rather flimsy (which was a surprise), given the cost of the kit. I will definitely use weights when using this light. That said, the tripod is telescoping and enables the user to adjust the angle of the light.I really appreciate that this light can be used plugged in or out in the field with a charged battery. Neewer was kind enough to include a canvas case so this light can go anywhere the user desires.I was surprised that there wasn’t a user manual included. There is a tiny guide with rudimentary steps in what feels like 46,000 languages, but nothing that fully explains what this light is capable of doing. I would prefer a written manual that can stay with the ring kit so that I can easily reference before using the ring light. I don’t want to have to hunt for information that should be readily available.The user can operate the light with the buttons directly on it or with the included remote. As with current times, there’s also an app for that. Yep, you can run this light off your phone! Neewer has created a product that allows the user to operate it in the way he/she is most comfortable or which is most convenient. This means more time to focus on creating.I am impressed with the light’s output. The light emits even light that flatters skin tones. The user has the ability to adjust the temperature setting and the output setting that best works for the project. As with all ring lights, there will be a significant ring light catchlight when lighting the face of the subject. I snapped a couple of test shots of me and thought the light made my eyes look almost alien-like!Overall, I’m ecstatic to have this Neewer ring light in my kit. It’s going to enable me to create better images and to get more creative with my projects.

This review is for the NEEWER RB18B Ring Light. The product comes in a nice branded box and safely secured in its own carrying case. It includes the phone mount (not great at all), a remote (no batteries came with it), a small click-remote, charger, and tripod. The instruction manual has a barcode to download the manual. As soon as you scan the barcode with your phone, the support page appears with a list of products where you have to research the model number... and what did I find?? NOTHING! This model DOES NOT have a manual in the site. I had to search for the closest match to read about it.The tripod is a bit flimsy. It certainly could've been better for the price. Specifically, the rubber on the legs is cheap. It works as intended and I know we would like a tripod to be as lightweight as possible but lightweight shouldn't mean cheap. The ring is a bit heavy so a sturdy tripod is a must.The remote works well to configure the light at a distance without having to walk back and forth to it. The phone holder is simply too basic for proper alignment. Fortunately I have much better mounts for this set up so I won't be using this phone holder. No star off as well for this detail. The obvious star of this setup is the light itself and its control box.The light is excellent. Unlike some traditional ring lights that can create hotspots, this light with its edge-lit design produces softer and more evenly distributed light that looks natural on camera and is more favorable for portraits and video recordings. The adjustable color temperature is extremely useful and the CRI 97+ rating is noticeable when photographing objects because colors appear accurate and consistent. The brightness output is amazing for an 18-inch ring light. Even in a moderately lit room, it provides enough light to clearly illuminate the subject without needing additional lights. On my first test I took some quick pictures of my Sun Conure bird with the front iPhone camera. I did like the result, even though some color saturation occurred - not to blame the light but the photographer and camera as this was a very rough trial. Still, the images look great and show what is possible with this light.One of the features I really liked about this light is the battery - yes, it has a built-in 14.4V 3500mAh battery. Being able to operate without a power cord adds a level of convenience that other ring lights don't have. The battery is part of the black control box and as soon as you plug the control box, the battery starts charging. The control box also has 3 cold-shoe mounts which is excellent. I can place a camera plate there and set it up with a camera and even a screen monitor.This rign light has been a great choice. It delivers more than expected and is very easy to configure. Its features and performance deserve 4 stars but unfortunately I did take one star off for the deficiencies in the tripod, no manual available online, and low quality phone holder. Regardless, I highly recommend this product.

I absolutely love this ring light! It looks great, fits perfectly in my space, and adds a lovely ambience. It's well-made, durable, stable, and easy to set up straight out of the box. The quality and versatility make it excellent value for money, and the thoughtful packaging would also make it a great gift.

I think the picture is a little deceiving because it makes you think that you have several different light rings, but it only comes with one which is adjustable. The quality is amazing though that was my only disappointment.

This versatile 18-inch ring light delivers bright, even lighting with adjustable brightness and colour temperature, a convenient rechargeable battery, easy-to-use controls, and useful accessories, making it an excellent value for photography, video, streaming, and makeup.

The 18-inch NEEWER ring light delivers powerful illumination while remaining lightweight and portable. It features stepless dimming, reliable wireless remote control, and a compact folding tripod for easy transport. The included phone holder, cold shoe mounts, and padded carrying case make it a versatile, well-designed lighting solution for studio and on-location shoots.
