Warm mode
A yellow-tinted light that suits cozy, casual content and evening settings; it also tends to flatter skin tones in low ambient light.
Cool mode
A blue-tinted, brighter-feeling light suited to product shots and anything wanting a crisp, clean look, but can look harsh on skin if used alone.
Natural/neutral mode
Balanced between warm and cool, this is the safest default for video calls and general content where you\’re not going for a specific aesthetic.
Matching mode to room lighting
Mismatching your ring light\’s tone against strong ambient room light (like daylight through a window) creates competing colour casts — try to roughly match or dim the weaker source.
