Today I talk about the differences between the Elgato Ring Light vs the Elgato Key Light and The Elgato Key Light Air.
I have all three lights and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM ALL. The Elgato Ring Light is my favorite, and I explain why.
First of all, all 3 lights feature RELIABLE, high quality OSRAM LEDs, and they all give you PLENTY of high quality flicker free light, especially since they're all designed to be used at close range, on your desktop. The Elgato Key Light has a whopping 2800 Lumens of blinding light, which is WAY too much light for a light that close to your face.
The Elgato Ring Light has 2500 lumens of light, and the Elgato Key Light Air has "only" 1400 lumens.... all 3 are still more than enough for close range video lighting.
To put it in context. This video was shot using the Elgato Ring Light set at only 21% of the potential 2500 lumens, which translates into about 500 lumens, which means you can pay as little as $129 and just get the Elgato Key Light Air and you're all set... except you really should get two lights. Based on that, the best combination in my opinion is the Elgato Ring Light, plus the Elgato Key Light Air.
Here's a quick overview between the Elgato Ring Light vs Elgato Key Light vs Key Light Air.
They Air and Ring Light cost the same $199. The Key Light Air is only $129.
The Ring Light has "only" 2500 lumens, but as I mentioned, you only need about 500 or so lumens at this short range, so the extra 300 lumens doesn't matter.
They Key Light and Ring Light come with fantastic desk mounts that clamp to your desk
The Key Light Air has an entirely different mount that sits on your desk instead of clamping.
The Ring Light has a slightly shorter 2 segment pole, the Key Light has a longer 3 segment pole, however I think the pole on the Ring Light is too tall for most desktops.
Why the Elgato Ring Light instead of the Elgato Key Light?
The main thing is that all 3 have plenty of great light, but the Ring Light is the only model that also has physical buttons to make adjustments, plus in my opinion, it's physically bigger size actually disperses the light better.
Another obvious benefit is that the Ring Light is flexible enough to be used as a Ring Light, or as a Key light... so you get the best of both. Just because it has a hole in the middle doesn't mean you are obligated to mount your camera in the middle.
