Offering the signature, soft, flattering light quality and attention-getting catchlights in the eyes of your subject that are typical of the light's shape, especially when shooting through its center opening, the 17.5" Rainbow RGB Ring Light from Savage also raises the bar on color and control. The Rainbow RGB has a wide color temperature range of 2700 to 10,000K for creative expression.or to match other sources and mixed lighting scenarios, Savage also adds RGB color control, allowing you to select from 360 dimmable colors. From there, you can use the Hue and Saturation button to create literally millions of color combinations.
Savage has also created a free Bluetooth-powered smartphone app for iPhone and Android that adds a multitude of creative options. Among the many effects are a Patterns Function, which accesses effects such as strobe, pulsating, and rainbow; a Mood Function, which picks up ambient sounds and pulses the light to them; and a Music Function, which will pulse in time to your audio library and cycling through various colors.
