Angler BI-45W-RL 14 Inch LED Bi-Color Ring Light and Light Stand Instructions

Angler BI-45W-RL 14 Inch LED Bi-Color Ring Light and Light Stand

Instructions

Thank you for choosing Angler.

The Angler BI-45W-RL is a 14-inch ring light that’s ideal for lighting vlogs and interviews, and self-lighting influencer videos and home broadcasts. Its bi-color SMD 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. 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. Create realistic lighting or match the ambient light of your environment. For convenient setup wherever you want to record or chat, a four-section light stand is
included with height adjustment from 16 to 58.5 inches. The included flex arm with a spring-loaded smartphone clamp puts your phone at the center of the action. The light is designed with shoe and 1/4-20 accessory mounts.
