The best ring lights can elevate your content and they’re often used in portrait photography too. I have reviewed and used a number of ring lights and kits, ranging from budget ones to expensive ones, and the Westcott 18-inch Bi-Color LED Kit falls in the latter category. Easy to set up and control, the Westcott 18-inch is a powerful ring light that comes with a smartphone mount as well as a tripod base for a camera.
The Westcott 18-inch can be powered by batteries or mains, and being able to adjust the color temperature between 3200K and 5600K gives photographers great flexibility. However, its competitors — namely Neewer — come with remote controls. The Westcott 18-inch doesn’t come with a remote shutter button either so it can be difficult to reach the camera if its tripod is at its highest.
