Want to look your best and take your Instagram Reels or in TikTok videos to the next level? Then you need a ring light.

Whether you are a casual content creator or a wannabe pro, a ring selfie light is essential to give your videos a professional look.

The halo shape of a ring light spreads the light over a wide area to reduce shadows and harsh lines, and makes for a more flattering image.

Whether you want to film vlogs, make-up tutorials or selfie videos, a ring light is a must-have accessory for Reels, TikTok videos and YouTube Shorts.

Here are my 7 recommendations for the best lights for Instagram Reels and TikTok videos.

I chose these based on reliability, maximum brightness, features like dimming and color control, price, and customer recommendations.
