Full details
The Godox LR160B LED Ring Light is an essential tool for portrait photographers, content creators, and makeup artists seeking professional-grade, soft illumination for their shots. Its primary strength lies in its versatile color temperature range and the signature circular catch lights it produces, though users should note that the unit requires external batteries for field use since the power adapter is the only included power source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your light, attach the fixture to a standard 5/8-inch light stand stud and tighten the locking knob. If using AC power, connect the included adapter to the rear port and plug it into a wall outlet. For location shoots, attach two NP-F970 batteries into the battery slots on the back. Always ensure the light is powered off before connecting or disconnecting batteries. To keep your unit in top condition, use a dry, soft cloth to clean the diffuser surface and avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals on the LED elements. Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the longevity of the LEDs.
