The Nanlite Halo 19 Daylight 19" LED Ring Light delivers soft, near-shadowless lighting with a distinctive ring-shaped catchlight. It suits beauty lighting, vlogging, selfies, hair dressing, makeup application, and portrait photography. Because you can shoot through the open center with a DSLR using the included mount, the Halo 19 helps create the characteristic ring catchlights that many photographers and content creators favour.
Nanlite designed the Halo 19 to produce a soft quality of light that minimizes harsh shadows. As a result, you can achieve flattering looks for makeup tutorials and portrait work with minimal setup. Moreover, the cloth diffuser that ships with the light spreads output evenly across the ring to reduce hotspots and create a gentle, consistent falloff.
The Halo 19 is dimmable from 0 to 100%, so you can set the exact intensity you need without moving the fixture. This continuous dimming range makes it easy to match ambient light or fine-tune exposure for video and stills. In short, you control the light level rather than repositioning or covering the fixture.
This ring light uses a fixed daylight color temperature of 5600K. Therefore, it blends readily with other daylight-balanced studio LEDs and strobe lights. Additionally, the Halo 19 provides colour-accurate rendering with a high CRI of 95 and a TLCI of 93, so skin tones and makeup colours reproduce faithfully on camera.
With an output of 3850 lumens, the Halo 19 delivers enough light to work in both studio environments and outdoors when needed. Consequently, you can rely on its brightness for a range of shooting situations, from controlled indoor sets to daylight-assisted location work.
The 19" diameter and included camera bracket make the Halo 19 compatible with most mirrorless cameras and medium to small DSLRs. Therefore, you can mount your camera through the center of the ring to achieve direct, even frontal lighting and the signature catchlight effect.
