StudioKing RL-160 Macro LED Ring Lamp Dimmable

General Description

The StudioKing RL-160 is a universal 10W LED ring lamp designed for photography and videography, featuring a high color rendering index (CRI) of over 95 to ensure accurate color reproduction. It provides continuous lighting with a fixed color temperature of 5600K, ideal for natural daylight simulation.

Mounting and Compatibility

The RL-160 can be easily mounted on camera lenses using the included adapter rings, which fit lens diameters of 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, and 67mm. The adapters slide firmly into the ring lamp, allowing quick and secure attachment. Additionally, the lamp can be mounted on a camera hotshoe using the supplied adapter, connecting via a 1/4 inch male thread.

Power and Control

• Powered by 6 AA batteries (not included) or via an external power adapter (DC 6-17 V) using the included cable.
• Brightness is adjustable in 20 steps from 10% to 100%, enabling precise control over lighting intensity.
• All power components and controls are integrated into the ring lamp, eliminating the need for a separate controller.

Lighting Characteristics and Usage

• LEDs are arranged around the lens, minimizing shadows and providing even illumination.
• The LEDs emit light at a 45-degree angle, producing a wide lighting range effective even at several meters distance.
• Ideal for portrait photography, creating attractive circular catchlights in the eyes.
• Excellent for macro photography and shooting smaller objects, ensuring detailed and shadow-free images.
