The adjustable temperature obviously enables it to match the ambient light, whether it's daylight or artificial room lighting – or even flash, should you want to get creative with a portrait setup.Īdding a remote control to the setup is a brilliant upgrade, meaning that you can make adjustments when using the light to illuminate yourself without having to get up or fiddle blindly behind the device.

Not only does it pack plenty of power, but the built-in diffusion ensures that it isn't too harsh on the skin – preventing the specular blowouts caused by cheaper lights. Put simply, this is the best ring light we've ever used.

There's also a newly designed light stand custom made for Lume Cube, which is taller (adjustable from 18-70 inches) and feels better built than the previous model. In addition there are two cold shoes, a standard threaded mount (to mount a camera or a phone using the enclosed clip), and two USB-A ports to charge other devices. On the light you'll find brightness and color temperature dials, along with a button to pair the remote control if it becomes disconnected. Not only does it display the brightness, color temperature and remaining battery level, it also computes the remaining battery time at the current brightness level – enabling you to see how long you have left to shoot at different outputs. The rear screen is larger, more informative, and generally looks more high end. The tilt head, which rotates 180°, has also been redesigned, granting more purchase when shooting flat lay or unboxing imagery.
This in turn puts less stress and strain on the tilt mechanism, one of our few criticisms of the previous model. Thanks to the integrated battery design and Edge-Lit technology, this is a much flatter and less clunky device. The Pro model sees a sleeker, slimmer, sexier design than the Lume Cube Wireless Ring Light. Lume Cube Ring Light Pro review: Build & handling You can nudge the brightness and color temperature up and down, and there are shortcut buttons that enable you to quickly jump to 3200K or 5600K temperatures, and 25%, 50% or 100% brightness. Two honeycomb grids are included, as well as two snoots and two barndoors.In addition there are two USB-A ports that enable you to connect and power your phone or other devices, which is an unexpected but very welcome inclusion.Īnother key feature is the remote control, which thankfully isn't line-of-sight operated and enables you to make truly wireless adjustments. The accessories included in the kit are diffusers, warming gels, and RGBY color gels. The fixture has a rubber plug to cover its ports, which makes it waterproof only down to 30' and makes it usable in both dry and wet weather or while fully submerged.
The 1/4″-20 female threads allow you to mount the Lume Cube onto a variety of optional camera accessories.

It incorporates a rechargeable battery that lasts 40 minutes at full brightness. It features an 80° beam angle, and the output has a CRI rating of 95 for excellent color rendition.
