ring light
Circular filming lamp
A ring light is a circular light source used in photography and video, designed to surround the camera lens and cast even, shadow-free illumination on a subject's face.
Originally professional equipment, ring lights became standard gear for social media content creators, video calls, and selfies.
The distinctive circular catchlight in the subject's eyes is a telltale sign of ring light use.
