The Neewer Basics Magnetic Selfie Light is built for creators who need precise control over their lighting. This unit stands out with its integrated rear display, which shows the remaining battery life in minutes and the exact color temperature setting. This feature helps busy users manage their time during video conferences or recording sessions without worrying about an unexpected power loss.
The hardware features an N52 Neodymium magnetic array, which provides a strong bond to compatible smartphones. To prevent the light from rotating once attached, the mounting face is covered in a high-friction silicone material. The lighting array consists of 60 bi-color LEDs that are rated for high color accuracy, ensuring that skin tones remain natural. While the unit is built to be sturdy, the friction-plate hinge should be kept clear of dust and debris to ensure smooth movement over time.
The rear OLED screen provides helpful feedback on remaining runtime, making it easier to plan long video calls.
Because this light can generate significant brightness, the housing may become warm to the touch during continuous use at peak levels. It is important to note that the device is designed to be powered by its own battery during use rather than drawing power through the phone. This helps preserve your phone's battery life while you work or create.
If you require a similar magnetic setup but also need a physical mirror for checking your appearance, the SmallRig Magnetic Selfie Light includes a high-reflectivity mirror in its design.
