My New Ring Light Setup (And Why I Actually Use It)

I recently picked up the Weilisi Large Ring Light with 79" Stand, and I’ll be honest—I didn’t think I’d use it this much. I’m not a professional photographer or a YouTuber, but I do like having good lighting for everyday things. Sometimes that’s snapping a few family photos, sometimes it’s filming a quick Amazon review video, and other times it’s just making content for fun.
The Stand Makes All the Difference
What I love most is the stand. It’s not the usual wobbly tripod that tips over the second someone brushes past it. Instead, it has a heavy circular base that keeps it super sturdy. With a toddler running around, this gives me so much peace of mind.
Easy Adjustments (Because I Don’t Have Time for Complicated)
I can raise or lower the light depending on what I’m doing—anything from tabletop shots to full-body videos. The brightness and color are easy to adjust too, so I don’t feel washed out or like I’m under a spotlight. It’s a quick twist of a dial, not a whole science project, which is exactly what I need.
Why I Reach for It
I’ve used it for:
Quick photoshoots of my kid (the lighting makes even simple photos look more polished)
Family pictures when we want better-than-phone-flash lighting
Filming little Amazon review videos
Just playing around making content for fun
I don’t need it to be fancy—I just need it to work when I want better lighting. And it does.
What’s in the Box
It came with everything I needed to get started:
The light and base
A tall 79-inch stand
Phone holder
Remote control + shutter
Power adapter
Final Thoughts
If you’re like me and not trying to be a professional, but still want lighting that makes your photos and videos look better without the hassle, this is a solid option. The sturdy base, simple adjustments, and quality of the light make it something I actually use—not something that ends up collecting dust.
