The Venus V48C 18" Bi-Color AC Ring Light with Stand from Nanguang is part of a series of LED ring lights that are well-suited for beauty lighting, vlogging, selfies, hair dressing, makeup application, and portrait photography, and more. However you use it, the 18" ring light offers your images the signature attractive, soft, near-shadowless light quality with interesting ring-shaped catchlights which is the hallmark of this fixture's shape. The effect is especially pronounced when shooting through its open center with your smartphone or DSLR.

The light is dimmable from 0 to 100% to save you the trouble of jockeying it to-and-fro to achieve the correct light intensity. Color is variable too, from 3200 to 5600K or anywhere in between to match other fixtures, ambient light conditions, or just for creative expression. The V48C 18" has a high CRI of 95 and a TLCI of 93, making its rating an indicator of advanced accuracy in color rendition. This version of the light contains the ring light, smartphone bracket, dual-sided mirror, carry case, desktop light stand, and an AC adapter.
