Is a Ring Light Over the Top?

Question

I have seen from older posts some people are saying the Ring Lights are a must for WFH. I am thinking about getting one since I just moved into a new place where my office doesn't have any windows and the lighting is pretty bad. I feel I look like an evil villain from a movie with the lighting going on right now!!

I am thinking about getting one, but I know I will get roasted by everyone who sees it.

Is this something you company will expense also for those who have it?

Accepted Answer

I got a cheap one at Walmart that I use for a darker area in my house. Works nicely.

Answer

Yes. get it. I think about it this way, I dont want anyone to have a problem seeing me or hearing me. If ether of those things happen they are distractions and hurt my ability to connect with the prospect.

Answer

It helps. I got one as a gift and I use it whenever I am on cam or as a reading light hah

Answer

If I were to get a ring light, one of my kids would commandeer it.

Answer

I use one. My office has weird shadows so it helps me not have weird shadows on my face.

Answer

I use mine for every meeting - it just makes you look a lot better and avoids shadows that can make you look tired.

Answer

Ring light, good webcam or DSLR + mic= impressed clients over zoom. I look way better on zoom than I do in real life, thanks to a good set-up, and my voice sounds so crisp I just wish I could whisper sign that shit before EOD, please".

Answer

There are ring lights that let you adjust the light tone + intensity.

Answer

What works best for you - Not necessary, but it's nice to have.

Answer

You can probably achieve okay lighting using a desktop lamp pointed at you, but it might hurt your eyes. Ring lights are extra, but they have different settings so they won't blind you.

Answer

Do you have a window near you? Then you probably don't need it. But for early or late calls it can help a lot.

Answer

The ones who joke you on it are also the ones that look like fools on calls with funky shadows and bad lighting. Most companies will expense that item if you show the value of it. Never hurts to ask a manager
