Excellent Ring Light .... and not just for photography
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
Note: I received the Auriani 16" Ring Light for free as part of a promotion for my fair and impartial review. My comments below are objective and based solely on my own experience with the light.

This review is of the “Auriani 16" Ring Light, 3200k-5600k Color Temperature and Brightness Dimmable LED Ring Light with Tripod Stand and Carrying Bag for Camera, Smartphone, YouTube, Self-Portrait Shooting, 110V-240V.”

It comes with the ring light, a power cord, tripod, camera swivel mount, iPhone mount, instruction booklet, and carry case. It also comes with a little silver double-male screw mount adapter. Be sure you find that inside the carry case and don't lose it (mine was in the corner of the case at the bottom). You’ll need it for attaching an iPhone.

The ring light simply pops onto the top peg of the tripod, and then there’s a wing nut to tighten it. Once attached to the top, it can be swiveled 360 degrees horizontally, and then 90 degrees all the way face down to 90 degrees all the way face up. The range of motion is very good, and there are wing nuts to tighten it in any position.

The minimum height of the ring light when attached to the tripod is 30 inches (bottom of the ring) / 37 inches (center of the ring). The maximum height of the ring light when attached to a fully extended tripod is 72 inches (bottom of the ring) / 80 inches (center of the ring). That height is really impressive. Moreover, you don’t have to use the tripod at all. There’s also an eyehole on the top back of the ring light (see photo), so you can also hang it wherever you want.

It comes with a 10-foot power cord, which is detachable from the light. I would have preferred if it came with a longer 20-30 foot cord, especially when plugging it in when mounted to a fully extended tripod. But I guess that’s what extension cords are for.

Now on to the light itself:

The instructions don’t say what lux range it is, but it is bright, and the color temperature (i.e., bright white to warm/yellow white) is 3200-5600 Kelvin, from yellow to white.

On the back of the light are an On/Off switch, Dimmable (brightness) knob, and Color Temperature knob. The simplicity is admirable. You can achieve any combination of brightness/temperature you want for your desired application.

It comes with a ball swivel for mounting a camera. However, I’d probably only mount a light-weight point-and-shoot camera or iPhone, rather than any larger or heavier SLR .... the tripod is not that robust. If you’re indoors on a solid floor, it’s fine, but outdoors with wind etc, you might not get a good time-lapse. There’s probably a way to take the ring light and mount it on another tripod, but I’m not sure how to do it. It would have been good if this ring light came with a screw mount adapter so you can attach it to another tripod. However, this comment only pertains to those who might want to use this light right for heavy-duty, outdoor use with a heavy SLR. For indoors with an iPhone, the tripod is plenty adequate enough.

In my case, however, I am not intending to use this ring light for photography. The Auriani Ring Light is a great work light. You can put it anywhere and adjust the brightness and color temperature for whatever you’re working on. Sure, I have regular shoplights, but those have only two modes: Off and Blazing Sun. I do sewing (handstitching and sewing machine), craftwork, woodwork, intricate electronic work ..... often wishing I had more light. Sometimes I wear a headlamp, just so I can see better what I’m working on. There are plenty of tabletop worklights out there, but one thing I really like about this Auriani ring light is its infinitely adjustable brightness and temperature. For example, I’ll want super bright white light when doing needlepoint. For working on electronic boards, however, a super bright white light would just reflect too much off the components .... but with this ring light, I can turn down the brightness and soften it, just to get as much light as I need. That’s a huge plus. I know these ring lights are advertised mostly for photography, but I can see so many other very useful applications—in addition to the above: painting, grilling, ambient light in any room (just put the light behind a piece of furniture and and point it at the ceiling), working on car engines, etc.

If there was anything that could be improved, I can suggest (1) provide a longer power cord and (2) provide an option for battery power.

Overall, I like this Auriani Ring Light very much, and I’m expecting to use it extensively.
 
UPGRADE
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
 My old ring light started flickering a few weeks ago so I went with this to replace it. It's HUGE! I love it! There is enough room to mount my second camera and the external microphone without blocking light or creating unwanted shadows.

The Awesome:
1. Sturdy - The tripod is very wide at the base, thus very stable. The bars are thick and are held in place with adjustable bolts. It's not moving anywhere when I set it up.
2. Brightness - This thing goes from barely lit to sunlight with the twist of a knob. I also like the warm light setting. It's a lot nicer than I was expecting. I rarely use warm lighting, but this makes for a pretty realistic video.
3. Ball Mount. It's small, but it holds in place pretty well, even under load. I am able to tilt my Canon Vixia toward the floor without any sagging or loss of stability.

The Good:
1. REAL POWER CABLE. None of this USB nonsense that's become such a craze lately. I had to buy a special adapter for my old light. This one I can just plug in. Useful EVERYWHERE.
2. Carrying case. It's got a pretty standard nylon bag, but it's big enough to fit everything and a few extras. Glad to have it, especially when I take this with me on the road.
3. Phone Mount - It's pretty standard, but it holds the phone and expands to accommodate larger screens.

I've used this for a few videos today...No complaints at all. This is a huge improvement over the older USB powered ring lights. I'm really impressed with the quality of construction and the adjustability.
 
Good, solid product
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
Overall, this is a pretty good item.
The light stand is metal, and as long as you tighten your clamps, your camera shouldn't drop.
While the ball head attachment is metal, I found it easier to attach a DSLR without the lens. I had to screw in my DSLR into the ball head attachment. With a longer lens, this is not possible. Also, your camera neck strap needs to be moved out of the way if you are trying to attach your camera to the ball head attachment. I wish their was a more convenient way to do this.
The phone holder attachment is plastic. Fitting the phone into it was hard due to the amount of resistance from the attachment. Once screwed in, my phone was not level. On top of that, due to the number of revolutions required to turn in the attachment, if you plan to use either your phone's front or rear camera, you will need to plan ahead how to position the phone before you screw it in. I would like to see a better phone attachment.
The two dials on the ring light are pretty straight-forward. I got decent results for portraits with both phone and mirrorless camera. I have not tried macro shots yet, but I suppose you could use this ring light for that purpose.
Since I would shoot portraits with this or maybe video, I would like to see warmer temperatures on the ringlight. I doubt I would ever use the colder temperatures because I would want skin tones to be pleasant looking.
 
A purchase you won’t regret!!!
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
I’ve made a lot of purchases I regret or that weren’t as advertised. Thankfully this is not one of those experiences. This is one of those cases where the pictures and description don’t do the product justice. Compared to other tripods this is as sturdy as it gets. Which believe me is worth the price tag because let’s face it you will be attaching your iPhone or expensive camera. Why cheap out on a few extra dollars and damage your expensive phone and/or camera. Been there done that. It’s a breeze to set up and believe me with mom brain I am so thankful for that. I don’t have the time, energy, patience or the mind for a complicated setup. Easy to assemble and disassemble for carrying. Once set up you don’t have to worry about it toppling over and damaging your phone/camera. Also the ring light isn’t as fragile as I first assumed. Which another bonus as a mom. I don’t want my energetic toddler knocking it over and having cuts and a giant mess of glass and blood to clean up after. I’m not thrilled about aging and there is such a stigma behind using filters but a little bit of good lightning never hurt anyone lol. Also works perfectly to take photos of my kids. I don’t know about you but I cant I afford a photographer for monthly milestone pictures or every beautiful little moment. And my apartment doesn’t have the best lighting. With this people think a professional did my pictures. Shhh our little secret. Anyways for your selfies, or your child’s precious moments or professional projects I completely whole heartedly. I have also uploaded a photo of the easy setup and slight demonstration. Don’t want to take my word for it. Try it out!!! As a mom I love saying I told you so lol.
 
Huge, sturdy, powerful
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from this light. But I was surprised by the build quality.
I fully recommend this light, specially for youtubers, since it comes with a handy camera holder with a standard mount for any DSLR camera and with an adapter to hold your phone.

Pros:
-Very tall, I'm 1.8m tall and this was way taller than me when fully extended.
-Long cable, about 3 meters. If you have it extended at about 1.5m, that's 1.5m away from the outlet if you want the cable to be touching the ground.
-Sturdy, very good build quality.
-Powerful light, and comes with a handy dimmer on the back.
-Temperature control, it lets you set the light color temperature easily.
-It also comes with a nice bag for transportation and storage.

Cons:
-The one con that I found is that the legs could be a bit longer. It can stand by itself perfectly fine, but I still feel like longer legs would make it more resilient to accidental drops like if someone accidentally trips over the cable, for example.
 
Super bright or nice an warm light ring
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
The 16 inch Auriani Ring Light is awesome. You have an on/off switch as well as a dimmer knob that adjusts the brightness and a knob that controls the temperature of the light from cool to warm. The light ring itself easily attaches and detaches from stand for storage or traveling and can be placed in the nice padded bag that is included. The power cord is also removable which is nice.

The ring light comes with an adjustable cell phone holder and a ball mount that you install in the center of the light ring. I don't think this ball mount is suitable for heavy cameras. The light ring can also swivel 360 degrees and can pivot vertically 180 degrees.

The stand feels very sturdy and is adjustable from 1.6 ft to 5.3 ft. I don't see why you couldn't use it as an extra tripod when the ring light is not in use.

I am pleased with this purchase. My cat thinks its either amazing or terrifying, I'm not sure which one yet.
 
Great for taking photos for Instagram
Verified Purchase
I recently started an Instagram account that requires light in order to make great looking photos. So after research, I came across this product and saw the reviews and decided to buy it. When the ring arrived, i was pleasantly surprised to learn that this product is light to carry. It includes two tripod - one for my phone and the other one for the ring. The ring has many settings - 11 different colors and 10 grade of brightness. Lots of options to pick in terms of light. Very simple to set up and to use. It took me a total 1 minute to set it up. The light definitely helped me take attractive photos. There was a big difference between taking photos with the ring and without the ring. Got many likes in Instagram because of this ring. So pleased with this product. 5 stars.
 
Great light kit!
Size: 16 inch | Verified Purchase
I am very impressed with this kit! It includes everything you need to up your portrait game... includes a collapsible tripod, the ring light, a ball joint tripod head, and a cell phone holder to go on top of that. It even includes a nice carrying bag to keep everything together. The light is plenty bright, and you can dial in just the right color temperature and brightness on the fly. My model wasn't exactly cooperating, but I wanted to add a few pics just to show the difference between a normal cell phone flash shot, and one done through the ring... and another shot just showing the whole setup. I'll try to add some better pics another time, but really - you can't go wrong with this light kit!
