Nanlite Halo series LED ring lights are incredibly versatile light sources that can adapt themselves to a vast range of needs and projects. Well-suited for beauty lighting, vlogging, live streaming, makeup application and tutorials, portrait photography and small product photography, Halo LED ring lights from Nanlite provide an attractive, soft, near-shadowless light quality with interesting, ring-shaped catchlights in the eyes of your subject. With Halo ring lights you can quickly achieve beautiful, studio-quality results without adding plastic filters or cloth diffusion. Centrally located control knobs accessible from both in front and behind the light enable you to dial in brightness from 0-100% saving you the trouble of moving it back and forth to achieve the required light intensity and temperature from warm to cold (3200-5600K) to match other fixtures, ambient light conditions, or to offer creative options. Whether you are photographing, applying makeup, or filming content having accurate color is paramount. The Halo 16's Color Rendering Index (CRI) score of 95 and Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI) of 93 mean that not only will skin tones and colors look correct to your eye but to cameras as well. The Halo 16 can either be powered the included AC Adapter or by Sony NP-style batteries (not included) when mains power is unavailable. Also, unique to the Halo 16 is its USB Power Passthrough feature. Users can use the built-in USB port charge smartphones and other devices for live streaming, vlogging, time-lapse and more. Equipped with a standard 5/8" receiver mount, the Halo 16 can be mounted directly on almost any light stand. The Kit with Light Stand encompasses a range of accessories including a smartphone bracket and a makeup mirror, either one of which can be mounted directly in the center of the ring light.
