Ideal for selfies, vlogging, and a host of onlline uses, this Halo Plus Series 180 Bi-Color LED Ring Light Kit with Stand from Dracast includes a 19" ring light, an AC adapter, a wireless remote control, a flexible phone adapter with shoe mount, and a 6' spring-cushioned light stand.

While the first thing that catches your eye is the ring light's unique form, Dracast demonstrates its versatility through performance and convenience features that stress flexibility in design. The LED180 offers color temperature that's variable from 2700 to 5600K to blend seamlessly with other fixtures or to meet the challenge of inconsistent ambient light conditions without the burden of applying filters. Light intensity is also adjustable steplessly from 0-100% with a simple twist of the knob.

While most light fixtures have a degree of directionality to allow selective lighting, the Halo is omnidirectional, bathing your subject in soft, flattering, and near-shadowless light that is very kind to skin tones. Dracast employs 252 surface-mounted LEDs softened by a diffusion filter, and the fixture maintains a high CRI of 96+ to indicate an accurate rendering of color.

You can use the Halo as you would a traditional fixture, on a light stand placed to one side of your subject for wraparound light and open shadows, or place the camera lens in the center of the 19" ring to show the Halo's true advantage. You can use it combined with harder light sources to create a soft fill light, and since the Halo dims from 0-100%, you won't have to jockey the fixture around to obtain the required level of light. When used alone its signature characteristics emerge, creating soft light on the face, head, and shoulders, for instance, with sharp shadows cast exactly behind the body. The circular catchlights reflected in your subject's eyes also have a striking effect, especially up close. The LED180 Halo is ready for worldwide use thanks to the inclusion of a multi-voltage AC adapter.
