I actually purchased this as a small "task light" when doing electronic repair at my desk. I have an iPhone XR and it is held quite securely is I need to record and steps. Other larger task lights I have used are about 6-8" in diameter are just too big for my desk; this lamp is much smaller and can be re-positioned or moved out of the way quite easily since it is a "goose-neck" rather than having the rigid bars holding it up. The multiple brightness settings are useful, but I have kept mine on the brightest setting which works quite well. The light is as bright as the larger 6"-8" lights and has limited soft shadows while working. It is very easy to re-position and stays where placed - I found the larger lights would often "shift" after you set them properly due to the weight of the lamp head itself. It works very well for my purposes, as well as holding phone to review YouTube videos while working on repairs.

Light is bright, and it holds my phone securely. The desk clamp holds onto my desk perfectly. I've had issues with other brand's not holding the position I put the light into (it curves around my monitor) this one's arms does so perfectly.

HI everyone! I received my Tranesca Selfie Ring Light with Cell Phone Holder Stand for Live Stream/Makeup and more this afternoon. It was packaged really nicely and was so simple to put together. Only one little screw on connection that goes over a steel ball on one of the arms to be able to attach the phone holder. No instructions were needed. I plugged it into my computer's USB and clicked the switch and voila the light turned on. It has 3 buttons for the lights. On makes it brighter, one dims and one changes the type of color of the light from bright to a more luminescent color. The only thing I would say about it that could be better would be maybe a bigger more expanding clip to attach it to tables because right now it will only fit over tables that are about 1 - 1 1/2 " tall. Any bigger/thicker than that and it won't work. But for bedside use if you don't have a thick table or for use by your computer it is really AWESOME.....I am really going to have a lot of fun with this product. I took several pics to show you the different lights but I don't think it shows in the picture. also the Phone clip is super easy to use and just slides apart and then clips securely to your phone, even with a case on it. (Mine has a lifeproof case on it and it fit just fine)

I know most people will use this as a selfie-holder, but I find it absolutely perfect for a small desk lamp and phone holder. First, I was surprised by the quality of this product for the price. The two arms are incredibly flexible, but equally as solid. It was very easy to simply clamp the device to my desk, and once plugged into the USB port on my computer (or you could use an adapter to plug it into a wall outlet) it just worked. Perfect. I clamp my phone in the holder and it holds securely. And while I don't really take selfies, I use this phone stand to play music on the phone without it taking any space on my desk. I feel like I have an elevated screen right there - it's great. My daughter stole this thing from me for a day because she was working on a drawing project. She clamped her iPhone into the clamp so she could see the image she wanted to use as a reference. Then she turned on the light with gave her plenty of illumination for her entire desk area to work on. I didn't think I really needed a selfie-light, but I'm glad I gave this a try and I use it far more than expected.

I'm not a social media influencer or someone who posts makeup videos online. I am, however, a professional who has been working from home since last March and is on and off Zoom calls all day every day. Unfortunately, my back is to the window, so I'm often just a shadow in front of a bright rectangle. That's why I bought this product. I love the various settings (3 color temperatures and 10 brightness settings). I like the clamp attachment instead of tripod or round base (just don't have enough room on my desk for that). And the price was great. Before I purchased this item, I went to the seller's page and found that all of their items have good ratings - to me, that says they don't generally sell junk. I can't comment on the phone holder part as I don't use it, and I've only had it for a couple of days so I can't attest to durability, but as for the rest, I'm 100% satisfied. Recommend.

This thing is bright and sturdy! I’m a YouTube tarot reader and have my phone or camera face down and the arms are so sturdy and stay in the position they are placed in. I spent $60+ on one previous and it broke in less than 2 weeks and I needed a replacement! Figured I’d get a cost effective one for the time being but no need! This is such a great find! I won’t even need to upgrade later.

The light is very bright but also has a dimmer option and 3 diff shades from cold to neutral to warm. YOu could totally use this just as a clip on desk light and be happy with it. The clip is strong and works well on a thick ledge/edge I have but seems a bit iffy on a thin short table edge I have. I think it would probably be fine on a longer thin edge though, just the edge of my desk is rather nubby. It holds the phone pretty well but you might have probs if you have very wide phone. I also took slipped off my rubbery phone case so it could grab better. The snaky part of the arms of the light and the holder are good. It charges only via USB to the computer, there is no wall plug. Could be a prob if you are low on USB ports or not near a computer. But overall I think it's a great deal for just $15.00.

Only used the ring light couple times. Pretty good quality and ring light works. Also the plastic phone holder is also sturdy.

I use this whenever I’m interviewing, it lets you get the right angles to present your best

Well build desk or vehicle light with multiple color modes, dimming options & sits ontop a flexible/bendable arm which allows you to position the light as desired. Similar to the old Snake-Lights. Additionally, there is a device holder which fits devices a little over 4 inches wide. This also sits ontop a flexible/bendable arm. The grasping power of the desk clip is pretty strong. Also, holding-power of the flexible/bendable arms are equally pretty strong. However I've notice with my heavy phone of I clip the light onto my desk upside down so it's hanging, the arm can't really stay in place when holding my phone and will slowly drop in its position if you're not paying close attention to how the arm is positioned to strategically counteract the gravity effecting the flexible arm and defeating its holding power under the weight of device. I typically just keep the light and phone holder positioned so the arms point up. This defeats that issue. If I have to have them pointing down, I bend them downward instead of clipping them facing down and this works. I'm a computer and electronics technician so I use this often for many things. It works great as a book/ document scanner, helps with soldering and gives a second perspective with you're phones camera/zoom. I took a lens from an old VR headset and positioned it between two rubber I-Rings that are glued in the center of the ring which houses the Led bulbs. This turned my light into a magnifying glass with 3 dimmable color modes. I strengthened the phone arm by attaching my phone cable using a zip tie at the phone clasp and proceeded to wrap the cable around the arm which is tightly spiraling to the desk clip and tied with a thin wire at its base. This somehow has made it noticeably stronger for whichever reason. The springs are stiff inside the clasp that holds the phone so I also took them out, snipped a centimeter off each spring and replaced them. This added some play to the slide that positions to the size of the phone, making it easier to pull out vs fighting the stiff springs to fit your phone in. To fix the play and wiggle from removing a portion of the springs, I added the portion of the springs I cut off, back onto the slide but I put them on outside of its housing, opposite of the springs inside the clasp that slides out. This put tension on both the slide going out and all the way in. I have a larger phone so my case included made it difficult to pull the slide out because I was bottoming-out the springs and nearly compressed them to their max before my phone could slide in. If you have a smaller phone or use a thin case you won't have this problem but if you do it's an easy fix and not a problem but more of a hindrance when sticking your phone in because you really have to pull hard on the slide to fully compress the springs to allow for enough space to fit your phone into the clasp/holder.
