Simple, handy and effective
I use the Hama Spotlight mainly for good lighting during video calls. Due to the handy size and the simple setup, it is very well suited for this. The light intensity of the lamp can be easily regulated and is more than bright enough.
Pro
- not too big
- easy to stow away
- simple operation
- variable light levels
- padded bag for storage
Contra
- plastic and construction looks a bit cheap
- still no USB type C plug
Functional but clunky
The ring light basically does its job, but is a bit awkward to handle with the clunky stand base. The light levels can be adjusted via a knob (on the cable) or can be turned on and off via a Bluetooth remote control (strictly speaking, simply a clicker with a single button). There are 3 light variations with (about) 10 gradations (weak - strong light).
For the price segment, the quality is more or less okay, but I would retrospectively rather spend 40-80 CHF more to buy a device that comes along slimmer and is better processed.
I only found the clunkiness of the device, the shoddy workmanship and the limited alignment options of the ringlight itself to be really annoying.Pro
- Easy to use
- Light gradations and light variations
Contra
- Very clunky
- Phone holder looks makeshift
- Bluetooth "remote" is poorly made
- Very limited options for positioning and angling the ring light
Perfect price / performance ratio
For the price of 55.- you definitely can not complain and if you still do, it is on a high level. I am very satisfied with the ring light. The only pity is that it looks a bit cheap due to a lot of plastic (but it is not) and if you have a newer phone, this easily covers the ring because the holder is at ring height and the smartphone is thus then placed in front of the ring. So depending on the size of the phone, this can somewhat interfere with the ring effect in the reflection of the eyes. However, this does not change anything about the distribution of the light. One is perfectly illuminated by the different levels of brightness as well as the 3 different color temperatures.
Ah yes and the lamp can only be connected via USB to the power. It does not have a normal power plug. So keep a USB adapter ready or buy this with if you do not have one.Pro
