Rosco’s LitePad Loop is a ring light that represents the latest addition to our popular LitePad line of LED lighting fixtures. This Spectrum post will introduce you to the Loop, illustrate a few ways of how it can be used, showcase the differences between the Loop and other ring lights currently in the marketplace and highlight how its features have been designed for professional use, but the technology is simple enough that everyone can use it on their camera.
A ring light is a circular light with a hole in the center for a camera’s lens to fit through. It was originally invented in 1952 by a dentist in order to take close up photos of his patients’ teeth and gums – and ring lights are still used for this purpose today.
