Spectrum Aurora Firefly Selfie Phone Ring Light Comparison: What’s the Difference?

How do you get amazing, virtually shadow-free, and even lighting without everything looking dull and one-dimensional? A ring light, of course!

Our Spectrum Aurora Ring Lights have become a key part of many YouTubers and vlogger’s lighting setups, and they are also beloved by photographers and makeup artists.

The simplicity of a ring light is part of its beauty – it’s a circle of light with an open centre through which you point your camera lens. There are also selfie phone ring lights that are specially created for mobile phone photos and videos, and that’s what this article is going to look at today.

Why Choose A Selfie Phone Ring Light?

The simple answer is because they’ll make your selfies look so much better. Ring lights reduce harsh shadows and even out your skin tone while reducing the look of blemishes. The also give your eyes a spectacular catchlight in the iris – a perfect circle of light that really opens up the look of the eyes.

If you’re a selfie-holic, an influencer who always needs to look their best on camera, or you need to show off your makeup or hair artistry, there’s a Spectrum Aurora Firefly Selfie Phone Ring Light that will suit you. No longer will you have to rely on natural daylight to shoot, or the flash on your phone camera that makes you look washed-out and highlights every little blemish.

These little lights pack enough of a punch to give you perfect portrait lighting, whatever the surrounding conditions, and they are small and lightweight enough to fit in a handbag or pocket.

Here is a Spectrum Aurora Firefly Selfie Phone Ring Light comparison, so you can see at a glance what each one can do and decide which will suit your needs best.

Conclusion

You may be wondering which selfie ring light will suit you best – the answer is to look at what you need or want to use your ring light for, and if you would be best suited with one colour temperature or would need the adjustable colour temperature version.

If you’re a makeup artist, for instance, you may be shooting in different lighting temperatures, or working with different skin tones, so a variable colour temperature would probably suit you. If you’re someone who loves taking selfies for social media, you might be happy with the daylight balanced selfie phone ring light.

Remember, selfie phone ring lights do what they were designed to do brilliantly, but if you try to use them for a different lighting purpose they won’t do so well. If you like what a ring light can do, but want to light a larger area, you would be better off looking at the Spectrum Aurora Ring Light range that features larger, more powerful versions.

Whatever ring light you eventually choose, you’ll have made a great choice, and will join the growing ranks of photographers and videographers who have discovered how awesome ring lights can be.
