Does your work-from-home space have terrible lighting? You probably had no idea until you started calling into Zoom meetings and noticed your face obscured by shadows. If tinkering with the lamps and overhead lights still does nothing to help, what you need is a video light.
Video lights have been the secret weapons of portrait photographers, vloggers and beauty influencers for a while now. They cast a flattering glow over your face, smooth your skin (adios, crow’s feet!) and make you way more camera-ready than your desk lamp (side lighting is not our friend). Today, Amazon has a sale on one of the most popular light brands to illuminate your face like the pros do — and they're up to 40 percent off!
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And even those without Prime get free shipping on orders of $25 or more).
Looking for something with tons of settings and a wide dimming range? Neewer’s RGB video light is for you. It has all the frills and hookups of more expensive professional video lights without a hefty price tag.
It casts either cold white light or warm light, whichever you need, to hide blemishes and smooth out your skin tone. It's even powerful enough for live-streaming on social media, and it's lightweight and portable — this light is literally pocket-sized. Just set it up next to your computer and Zoom away.
One five-star fan called the light "amazing," adding, "purchased two of these because they’re so good!"
Amazon has another top-rated illuminating device that's not technically a ring light but still does an incredible job of making you glow flawlessly on your Zoom and Facetime calls. It's a tabletop lighting kit that lets you adjust brightness from 10 to 100. Create colorful lighting effects, too — there are eight optional filters included with four colors: white, yellow, blue and red. It's totally adjustable and easy to carry from room to room.
One humorous fan wrote: "My wife got a fancy ring light for her work meetings here at the house. I got these bad boys and they were WAY cheaper. Honestly, they do a super job. To be fair, my meetings are a bunch of engineers and field people...I look great for a bunch of people who don't care!"
