HaloGlow™ Magnetic Phone Light

I LOVE this little selfie light. I have been able to use it with ease and it works very well. I love how portable it is, whether it is attached to my phone with the magnet or just in a bag. I highly recommend.

This little light is great if you take a lot of selfies. You don’t have to clip it on your phone-it snaps on the magnet and holds plenty firm. The light has 3 tone adjustments and is rechargeable, so no batteries needed.
If taking freehand video or photos it works great. The light is right on the back of the phone, not to the side, and no worries of it falling off or slipping. The light is not super bright, but definitely enough to enhance your selfies. It folds to a nice compact size to easily slip in your purse or pocket.
The downside: Can’t be used with a tripod or other phone holder if you want to video products, take a group photo (with tripod), or use a selfie stick.

The KRAFTGEEK selfie light is a compact fill light ideal for travel.

This lightweight, tiny selfie light contains 40 LEDs and is very bright. You can toggle between three colour temperatures and levels of brightness. (When I’m stranded in an airport during an extended business trip, I appreciate that warm colour, which makes me look less exhausted than I actually am.) There are three levels of brightness as well.

The light recharges via a USB C port. The battery life is projected at over ten hours, and it lasted me on a week-long trip.

The MagSafe mount sets the KRAFTGEEK selfie light above similar lights. If your phone or case is MagSafe compatible, the light sticks securely to the phone with no fussy attachments. I tried it with my iPhone 12 mini, which has a thin case, and my iPhone 16 pro, which has a thick, armoured case. The KRAFTGEEK selfie light clamped securely to both. The clamp also works well on a metal pillar or file cabinet. KRAFTGEEK makes a MagSafe tripod, and this light also works perfectly with it.

The light has a metal hinge that allows you to angle the lamp for optimal lighting, and it is used to close the lamp when it is not in use.

Controls are tactile buttons, and while a detailed instruction sheet is included, the operation is intuitive, and you’ll not need to read it.

Weighing only 68 grams, less than a deck of cards, you’ll not notice this in your pocket.

The KRAFTGEEK is a well-designed and well-built selfie light. It’s replaced my previous selfie light, which used a finicky gripper to attach to my phone and always wobbled. The light is the ideal size for use on a phone. It takes up no room in your crowded computer bag and will always show you in your best light! :-)

I've never been one for pop-sockets or anything that increases the thickness of a phone, but I can make an exception for this one... Two simple, small buttons control on/off, brightness and colour(3 levels of brightness and I'd estimate 6000K, 5000K and 3500K to choose from for colour temperatures). I can see its appeal as a selfie ring light, because it is bright as the sun in a poorly-lit room, but it excels as a front camera torch. Having the option to manipulate the light angle, brightness and colour allows some creativity to flow when capturing photos.
Battery life is around 2 hours and charging is quick.
The magsafe mounting is robust and the hinge looks like it can handle years of use.
All of the above being stand-out, it is quite thick. At nearly an inch, it's definitely not something you'd keep on your phone in your pocket. I found it a bit bulky and did get in the way of my normal grip of the phone. After using it for a few minutes, I did get used to it a bit, finding landscape mode a bit more accommodating.
Overall, I would recommend this light ring to anyone looking to add a glassy pop to their photos, without the hassle of anything permanent on their phone.

This KraftGeek Magnetic LED Light is a compact and lightweight light for iPhone 12 and up, or any phone that uses a MagSafe sized magnetic ring back or case. It attached securely to my Pixel 9. The light has two buttons, a power button that also adjusts the 3 brightness levels and a colour temperature button to switch between cool, natural and warm light. The light can pivot slightly more than 180 degrees, making it useful as a selfie light which is great to all more light when the lighting is poor. It is also great for video calls. I also found the light is useful to add some additional light or fill light to closeup shots. The light is compact enough to carry anywhere and is rechargeable via USB-C.
