![]() My Joofo lamp maxes out at 2,400 lumens, just 100 shy of the 2,500 lumens that the Ring Light boasts, but when turning both on side-by-side, it made me realize that brightness isn't the only factor that matters in a light, shockingly enough. I was very curious how the two products would compare, especially given the drastic price difference. Prior to obtaining the Ring Light, I'd purchased a similar lamp-where the Elgato Ring Light sells for around $200, this fairly cheap disc-shaped light retailed at $60. ![]() Overall, the entire thing is incredibly well-built, and feels deserving of its rather high price tag. Pushing the desk around led to minimal wobble, too, so you won't have to worry about your light source swaying around if you're the type of streamer who can get over the top with reactions or slamming the desk. The clamp is solid and even when I tried to gently push it around and test its stability, it stayed firmly put. I'd have liked for it to come with an optional solid base to use on the floor, but I can understand why they designed it like this, given that you don't want it in the way or sitting too far away. Meant moreso for close-up use behind a camera, the Ring Light doesn't come with a standard base-it's a premium add-on-and instead has a clamp designed to hook onto your desk or work area. So if you're for some reason traveling the world with your Ring Light, you'll be set in any hotel you stay at. The entirety of the Ring Light is built reliably-none of the frame squeaks or bends while you unpack it, and it comes with every power adapter needed for use in all the major countries in the world, both of which feel like nice, premium decisions. Merely hook the ring up to the base, and you're ready to roll. Was this gamer lamp a bright idea, or was it a dim decision?Ĭoming in an absolutely massive box, the Ring Light fortunately requires minimal setting up. The Ring Light is yet another tool in Elgato's repertoire designed to make your livestreams look a little more professional. ![]() We've seen the Elgato Stream Deck, and they've previously rolled out a green screen, and now it's time to see how they handle something you might not initially think of when it comes to showing your face on camera: proper lighting. Elgato has been expanding their litany of streaming gear recently, introducing not only capture cards, but also tools to help improve how a streamer does their job. ![]()
