3-Lamp Fluorescent Ring Light 19" INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction Thank you for choosing Impact. The Impact 3-Lamp Fluorescent Ring Light 19" is a continuous light for photography and video. It casts a soft, wraparound glow without the harsh shadows of conventional flashes. Three fluorescent lamps produce a pleasing daylight color at 5200 K for natural light quality, and white lining in the housing maximizes the output. The fluorescent lamps minimize heat so you can get close to your subject, which is ideal for portrait or product photography.
