THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RAYA

You can take the Raya 18-inch Bendie Brite FRB-NPF-18 with you anywhere you want to record, chat, or livestream, indoors or out. The 18-inch LED ring is ideal for lighting vlogs, interviews, influencer videos, and broadcasting from home. Its bi-color LEDs are housed in a diffuser that softens and spreads the beam for a flattering single shadow light that’s bright and color accurate.

This ring light runs on battery or AC power so it’s as effective in the field as it is in the office or at home.

Variable color temperature adjustment from 2700 to 5600 K lets you light subjects with the warmth of a tungsten bulb, bright daylight, and everything in between.

The light folds to a compact size and fits inside its own carry case so you can sling it over your shoulder and move to your next location or setup
