Shooting in extremely close proximity to a subject can make lighting challenging. This LED accessory for our 25mm lens allows you to get light onto a subject from an even source surrounding the lens barrel. Simply connect the LED ring light to a portable UDB power source and you have a great source of light for macro shooting wherever you go.

Too Hot! Too Bright. Limited Use.
I want to love this but I can’t. It works fine enough for some situations where there’s not enough light, but I’m using this less and less since I got it and am looking for something better.The worst part of it is that the ring get super hot (as others have noted). I’ve burned myself more than a few times and accidentally burned a sitter whose fingerprints I was photographing for a project. Totally unacceptable. I wonder what affects it might have on the lens itself. It’s often too hot to take off when I’m done with it, so I have to put the whole camera down or remove the lens (with ring light still attached). Not ideal at all!Add to that, the heat makes photographing snowflakes and ice/frost crystals impossible, there’s no way to dim or change the brightness–it’s VERY bright–so exposures are difficult to get right, and having it plugged into an external power source makes for some awkward maneuvering.I had higher hopes for this ring light and what it would allow me to do. I’m disappointed.

Hot hot hot
Iâve been using this for a few months now without incident as far as build quality, however like a few people have stated this thing gets HOT. Need your finger prints removed? Leave this bad boy on for 10 minutes then try to remove it.

Great concept. Not so great execution
Very loose fit on lens. Falls off easily and gets very hot. It is a useful light as the lens is pretty dim if it is not wide open. Build quality is nice.

Doesn’t stay on, something is broke.
The cable connection point is loose, or there is a short somewhere. The light constantly goes out, very difficult to use outdoors because of this. Annoying to use in doors. I just got into macro photography and this is making me second guess using Laowa products even though the 25mm Ultra Macro was so refreshing to use.

Light gets a bit hot
Handy to have, but it really gets hot, which is not ideal for close macro photography. The ring light rotates onto the lens, but does not lock onto the lens like the lens cap does. It would also have been nice if the light was dimmable, for more flexibility.

Only lasts a few hours
The quality of light that this ring light produces is great. However, I’ve bought two of them. Each started to malfunction after less than 5 hours of use, and stopped working entirely after 10. I feel incredibly ripped off.

This light does not lock in to place at the end of the lens, it also gets very hot during operation. Note external power bank required to power. Would not recommend this product at all.

Ich habe das Ultramacro für die Canon RP und das übliche Problem mit dem fehlenden Licht,was die ISO enorm nach oben schraubt. Durch einen YT Kanal bin ich auf dieses Hilfslicht aufmerksam geworden und habe es mir gekauft.Beim Aufschrauben auf das laowa 25mm muss man schon fest drehen, ich hatte es am Anfang sehr locker aber es muss einrasten sonst wackelt es herum. Nach einigem Gefluche habe ich es dann auch kapiert ;)Das Kabel verbindet man am besten mit einer Powerbank. D.h. es ist ein normales USB Kabel,ich schaetze man kann es auch an eine USB Stecker/Steckdose hängen, da es aber sehr kurz ist eignet sich eine Powerbank besser, besonders wenn man draussen fotografiert.Leider stört das Kabel schon etwas wenn man nahe ran gehen will. Das Licht an sich ist toll, man kann nun mit der ISO nach unten gehen und bekommt eine schöne Ausleuchtung mit besserer Qualitaet.Der Ring wird aber sehr heiss, vorsicht beim Anfassen.Für Makrofans mit diesem Objektiv ein unverzichtbares Muss.

La intensidad de luz me gusta, da bastante, se hace muy cómodo para enfocar con precisión, antes usaba una linterna para esa función, lo compré por curiosidad y tener el kit completo laowa 25mm + tripod ring + led ring light. Lo malo que se calienta mucho y el tener que usarlo enchufado a una baterÃa portátil a no tener una integrada.
