Lume Cube Ring Light Pro
3 sources2 derived$299.99as of Aug 1

The Lume Cube Ring Light Pro is the premium all-in-one pick, and the one to buy if portability matters. Digital Camera World gave it a full 5/5, calling it 'the gold standard,' and PCGamesN scored it 9/10 for its 'flawless light quality.' The built-in battery and complete travel kit justify the price for creators who shoot on the move.

Strengths
  • — Wired or cordless operation with a built-in battery (up to 120 min)
  • — Edge-lit 256-LED design produces soft, even, flattering light
  • — Bright 1700 lux at 0.5m with a 2700K-7500K color range
Watch-outs
  • — The most expensive light in this roundup
  • — LCD info panel sits on the rear, hard for a solo shooter to read
  • — Both pass-through USB ports are USB-A, not USB-C

Neewer RP19H 19-inch Ring Light
2 sources$111.49as of Aug 1

The Neewer RP19H is the best big-ring value and Tom's Guide's top overall pick, scored a full 5 stars and called 'the ultimate ring light.' CRI 97+ color accuracy and granular controls outclass cheaper lights, and the included tripod and triple phone holders make it a complete kit. The main gripes are a fiddly phone mount and a so-so tripod.

Strengths
  • — Large 19-inch ring wraps soft, even light around a seated subject
  • — Excellent color accuracy with CRI 97+ and TLCI 98+
  • — Fine control: 100K color steps and 1% brightness increments
Watch-outs
  • — Phone-holder system is fiddly and prone to loosening
  • — Tripod legs could be sturdier at full extension
  • — 19-inch size is bulky for small or travel setups

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.

How they stack up

Lume Cube Ring Light Pro

The Lume Cube Ring Light Pro is the only pick here with a built-in battery for cordless shooting, where the Elgato Ring Light, Neewer RP19H and UBeesize are all mains/USB tethered. It costs more than any of them.

Neewer RP19H 19-inch Ring Light

At 19 inches the Neewer RP19H throws softer, broader light than the 12-inch Razer Ring Light or 10-inch UBeesize, and it includes a full floor tripod that the desk-clamp Elgato Ring Light leaves out.
