Nanlite Halo Bi-Color LED Ring Light Kit (18") 

Professional, Versatile Lighting for Creators

The Nanlite Halo 18 Bi-Color LED Ring Light Kit is an outstanding lighting solution designed for photographers, videographers, makeup artists, and creators seeking an ultra-wide, soft, and evenly diffused light. With an 18-inch diameter ring light, this kit delivers high-quality illumination combined with extensive color control and practical accessories that make it ideal for studio use, live-streaming, beauty tutorials, and product photography.

Extensive Size for Broad, Even Lighting

At 18 inches in diameter, the Nanlite Halo 18 offers a wide coverage light source that delivers consistent, shadowless illumination perfect for framing medium to close-up shots. The large ring size produces the hallmark circular catchlights in subjects’ eyes, enriching portraits and video selfies with professional visual appeal.

Its large inner diameter of 12 inches comfortably accommodates cameras or smartphones placed at the center, lending versatility to content creators who often film directly through the ring while benefiting from flattering, uniform illumination around their lenses.

Adjustable Color Temperature and Brightness

The bicolor feature of the Halo 18 ring light allows smooth and stepless adjustment of color temperature from a warm 2700K to a daylight-balanced 6500K. This broad range enables users to match ambient lighting perfectly or creatively adjust light warmth to suit different moods and styles.

Brightness control ranges from 0 to 100%, allowing precise fine-tuning of light intensity through easy-to-access control knobs located both on the front and back of the fixture. This design eliminates the need to move or reposition the ring to gain the desired brightness, improving workflow efficiency on set or during live recordings.

High Color Accuracy for True-to-Life Results

A standout feature of the Nanlite Halo 18 is its excellent color rendering capabilities. With a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 95 and a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 93, this ring light delivers true and reliable color reproduction that ensures skin tones and product colors look natural on both eyes and camera sensors. This high color fidelity is essential for professional creators who want to avoid post-production color adjustments and maintain authenticity during live broadcasts or photo shoots.

Thoughtful Kit with Essential Accessories

The Halo 18 kit comes complete with several accessories designed to maximize usability and creative potential:

• Smartphone Bracket: Securely mounts smartphones in the ring’s center, enabling direct filming or streaming with optimal lighting.

• Dual-Sided Mirror: Features a 2x magnifying side ideal for detailed makeup application as well as a regular mirror side, catering to makeup artists and beauty content creators.

• 5/8” Receiver Mount: Compatible with almost any standard light stand or tripod for flexible position and height adjustment.

• Carrying Case: Ensures safe and convenient transport and storage for on-the-go users.

Durability and Practical Design

Constructed to be sturdy yet lightweight (around 3.5 lbs or 1.59 kg), the Halo 18 balances durability with portability. Its sleek, ultra-thin design fits well into studio racks or smaller workspaces without imposing space challenges.

The ring’s passive cooling system operates silently without noisy fans, making it perfect for recording environments that demand quiet operation.
