Thank you for choosing Angler.

Angler's 18-inch bi-color Ringlight is ideal for photographers and videographers who need a warm, diffuse and near-shadowless light with a wide beam spread to illuminate their subjects. The 18-inch Ringlight is also perfect for personal and professional makeup and cosmetics applications, and for lighting selfies and vlogs. It runs on AC power or two NP-F batteries, so it can light your projects at home or on location.

To match the lighting of any environment, the variable color temperature adjusts from the warmth of a tungsten bulb at 3200 K, to bright daylight at 5600 K, and everything in between. The dimmer adjusts from 0% to 100% to dial in the perfect brightness. And the Ringlight furnishes a spectacular catchlight that will make subjects' eyes appear alive and bright.

A mirror attachment is included for personal and professional cosmetics and to check makeup when in front of the light while shooting a selfie. It sits in the center of the ring, so you're illuminated in beautiful wraparound light. A mini ballhead and smartphone bracket are included to attach a camera or smartphone to the center of the ring.

The Ringlight is compatible with tripods that have a 1/4-20 threaded mounting bolt. To mount the Ringlight directly onto a tripod:
1. Remove the mounting handle by loosening the locking wheel until the handle comes off.
2. Screw the Ringlight onto the tripod's 1/4-20 mounting bolt until snug.

Powering On the Light

When operating on AC power, first remove the batteries.

1. Plug the power adapter into the light, and plug the power cord into an available outlet.
2. Move the power switch to ON.

When operating on battery power, unplug the power adapter from the AC outlet and from the light.
