FAQ About Ring Light
How many watts should a ring light have?
The number of watts a ring light should have depends on its size and purpose. Typically, larger ring lights require more watts to provide sufficient illumination, while smaller ones require fewer watts.
As a general rule of thumb, a ring light for photography or video should have a minimum of 50 watts of power. However, this is just a starting point, and the actual wattage you need will depend on the size of the ring light and the specific lighting needs of your project.
When choosing a ring light, it's important to look at the actual output of the light, rather than just the wattage. A ring light with a higher wattage doesn't necessarily mean it will provide better illumination if the actual output of the light is low.
LED ring lights are typically more energy-efficient than fluorescent ring lights and require fewer watts to produce the same amount of light. For example, a 18-inch LED ring light may require 55 watts to produce the same amount of light as a 18-inch fluorescent ring light that requires 100 watts.
