Is this light suitable for use as a beauty ring?

A beauty ring attaches to a speedlight or strobe and has more power and a larger area - so, more limited, lower power, a little harsh (diffuse w cloth <<http://www.amazon.com/ALZO-Diffusion-Fabric-White-alzodigital-com/dp/B0019HZQSO>>). Ring lights are design to fill or illuminate for macro work, A beauty dish is all about a larger light source, with better fall off that is more diffuse... so I gotta say, not for me.

I would say no...but i guess it depends on the strength of your eyes. Soft glow...not really reading light appropriate in my humble opinion. Hope that helps!

I'm not about fit, that of course depends on the threading size where your bulb screws into your lamp. It is small, as in chandelier size so maybe that answers that! Also-it's not very bright/strong! I got it for a makeup mirror and it doesn't really have much power so I can say it shouldn't burn your lamp! If you're after a soft glow-this is it!

I think this light is for gel polish only. I would google it and see if ment for this application.

Yes. You will need rings though. You might get away with just one ring. That would lighten it up a bit.

No. It's not. You have to buy softbox with universal ring in order to fit the light.

I guess so. With a low weight light. Not the best materials in this product though.

see the other fellow response....this ring light is made for macro or very close photography... it works ok whence i have not use it too much. I took a close up picture perhaps 3 ft and came ok. but as Morrow said...what do you want to use this for regular photography...dont you have a flash? what camera do yo have ? built in flash??? etc

My wife uses the light for reading (she has early stage Macular degeneration). She thinks the light should be fine for your application. The gooseneck is capable of a fairly wide range of vertical positions although it is a bit stiff (probably good) and the base is nice and heavy so that the light is stable in all positions. The quality if high and it assembles easily and quickly. I hope that helps you decide.Ed Getchell

I do not recommend it for a vanity light.it is more of an art light. if you have an electrical box or pancaketo mount the light to it will not work. it's designed more for direct wire application.to answer your question, base mounting played to center of light baris 3.5 inches.

No, it wouldn't be good as the only light source in a large room. I have mine in an average sized bathroom.

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

I'm sorry but no. It just would not be large enough. It is a very nice LED light for smaller areas.

Its a great light; I think the softness of the light would be good for what you are looking to do.

I'd think so. It has a good flat base to balance on. I have it mounted and I just love it. the light is bright but at all harsh.

I would certainly think so. My use is ON each of two light fixtures mounted on either side of a large mirror wall(Obviously through holes in the mirror) It is perfect!
