Finally managed another little Gear Talk . Sometimes the simplest item can help the most , this phone light is a good example of just such an item ……I really should use it more !
Officially it’s called ” 36 LED Ring Selfie Light ” .
It’s very easy to operate , does exactly what it says on the packaging ,it’s small & lightweight so no storage issues. The only drawback I’ve found is that it tends to switch itself on when in my bag as the on/off button stands slightly proud . No big drama it just means I have to remember to take the batteries out before packing it away pus I always carry spares .
& it’s cheap as chips which is a bonus . I’m sure there are better lights out there but overall I’m happy enough with this one based on value .
Here’s the link if you’re interested :

Smidge : even though I’m allergic to this product It’s the only thing I’ve found that works for me so I’ll just have to keep taking the anti histamines 😮
I tell you what that would be great for trimming the beard you know 😃… Cheers LJ. 🤗
I agree, always try and vlog when it’s dark. I’ve got one with a hit shoe but not a sexy ring light, this looks like a belter 👍
Might just be perfect for mobile macros.
Yeah…. nah lol. Not for me.
Ah …the vital add on for making sure ones lipstick is looking good for the viewers 😉
You light up my life LLJ ❤👍
I cannot get it here in the US but I too watched too the very end. Thanks for the bonus vid. Lovely as always. ( You know I tell Mr. Baxter the same-LOL.
Thank you Lynne, that's a nice little gadget you have there!……….and for one moment I thought you was going to pull a Z7 out the bag and to say guess what a sponsor has loaned me!…………
Hope you are getting over the lurgy now Lynne and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the light. Might look to see if they do one with Red LEDs as that could come handy sometime in the future
Even though I realised that it was not something that I'd personally use I still watched until the end. Go figure?
I think that would be good for micro photography.
We got a bonus video this week!
Sometimes the cheapest bits of kit and the simplest ideas are the best and that light was a prime example. I hope you are feeling better now Lynne, cheers Alan
Yup, decent bit of gear. I need to find some way to defuse the light as it can be a little harsh 👍🏻
