Technology

While ring lights are popular, many of them can be pretty harsh on the eyes. The Litra Glow looks like it will have a competitive edge when it comes to illuminating your face. The diffuser is built in a frameless design that results in a gentler light output. You get fewer shadows and a softer light, which makes your skin tones more accurate. By using the desktop app, you can also customize your on-camera look with adjustable brightness and color temperature settings — ranging from warm candlelight to cool blue.

Even the strictest UL testing guidelines have been met by the Litra Glow. This basically means that it’s been verified there’s no photobiological hazard at 12 hours of exposure. Logitech has built a product that’s durable while also ensuring multiple levels of safety from all-day use. A patent-pending three-way monitor mount with adjustable height, tilt, and rotation allows you to easily position Litra Glow wherever you want it. 

Who’s it For? 

There are certain people who dislike the giant circular light in their eyes that is increasingly noticeable in content created today. An alternative, and better choice, would be the use of softboxes. They come in many shapes and sizes and are a creative’s best friend. Not only does a mini softbox look better on the face, but it also creates a subtle catchlight in the eyes. Due to its soft light, it makes an excellent fill that keeps you from looking flat. In controlled, often confined studio or desktop spaces, soft light is one of the most common reasons to use one.

For color-accurate footage and cleaner stills, proper lighting is crucial. Whenever you stream on YouTube, Twitch, or make a Reel, you want the light to shine directly on your face to make you the focus. The Litra Glow should be at the top of your list if you’re on a budget. Maybe you’re mostly live-streaming from your desk or are looking for something portable you can tuck into a bag.

Wrapping Up

Many streamers and video conference callers who spend all day  on their computers often want soft-diffused lighting that won’t hurt their eyes. If you’re looking for a lightweight light that’ll work with either your laptop or desktop, the USB-powered Litra Glow Premium Streaming Light clips directly onto your monitor, providing flexible illumination. 

While more details and specifications are expected as the release approaches, what’s mentioned above should give you an idea of what this upcoming streaming light can do. With the Litra Glow powered by TrueSoft technology, Logitech continues to expand its “For Creators” lineup of audio and video gear. It’s a cost-effective solution for anyone looking to enhance their lighting experience with something other than a ring light, but not as cumbersome as a giant softbox.
