Which ring light is suitable for what? We draw a comparison between four particularly popular products. All four are available from Amazon.
Ring lights: This is how optimal illumination is achieved
Traditionally, a ring light is used in such a way that the camera is in the middle of the ring. The light illuminates the subject to be captured. It doesn't matter whether it's a product or a person, i.e. a face, or whether it's still or moving images.
Comparison instead of test: What's the difference?
For this comparison, a CHIP specialist editor examined test reports from other publications as well as the most popular offers ("best sellers") and customer opinions from online retailers. Based on this we made the product selection. When selecting the top devices, we focus on models with more than four stars and a reasonably high number of reviews. We have read a selection of customer reviews and selected devices that, based on our professional assessment, meet the needs of the users. The products have not been tested in the CHIP test center.
All products that the CHIP test center had in the laboratory can be found in this list of the best. Products that have also been tested by our cooperation partners can be found in our test & purchase advice and in our consumer portal.
