Logitech for Creators Litra Glow Premium LED Streaming Light with TrueSoft, adjustable monitor mount, brightness & color temp settings, desktop app control for PC/Mac – Graphite

An exceptional product for a reasonable price
I was a little concerned after reading reviews on this light. Some of the reviews are just incorrect.First, the design: I have a large curved monitor with a small bezel and a curved back panel. I had a tough time finding a webcam that would work with this monitor, so I expected to have trouble installing this light. Not a problem at all. I could put it anywhere on the top of the monitor with no problem. I chose to move it off to one side to create more pleasing shadows while its on.Next: usability. There are buttons on the back for power, color temperature and brightness of the light. Easy to control manually. You can also control the light via software. This is where it gets awesome. You can manually set the light from the software, which is not a huge benefit. On the other hand, you can configure it to turn on when you open specific applications and you can configure the light qualities (color temp and brightness) by application. I only use this light with Zoom and Teams, so I configured it to turn on when those apps are opened. Now I don’t need to remember to reach up and turn the light on when meetings begin. I believe the light can also be controlled via a logitech keyboard, but I cannot confirm because I use an Apple keyboard.Finally: light quality. The light panel is about 4″x4″. The larger the panel, the softer the light. This light is nicely diffused, but if it were just a bit larger, the light quality would be better. I’m not complaining at all. Just be prepared that the shadows aren’t super-soft. Not a big deal for me.Highly recommended!

Expensive but so thoughtfully designed, flexible, and extremely useful. Highly recommended.
Frequent pandemic Zoom meetings and classes made clear the importance of lighting. W/o any light, my face was typically dark because behind me are windows or lamps.Ring lights were an improvement, but they reflected in my glasses and the stands they came with took up too much space on my desk, or didn’t allow me to get the light in the best position.The Logitech Litra Glow is an almost perfect solution for me.The light it gives off is perfect – not too harsh, doesn’t make reflections in my glasses.The quality of the lighting is very adjustable: The light itself has 5 levels of brightness, and 5 levels of color temperature from warm candlelight to harsh blue office flourescent light. I like the middle setting for daytime, and one notch warmer than that for nighttime.The position of the light is also EXTREMELY adjustable: It rests reasonably securely on the back of your laptop screen or external monitor. The light can be raised or lowered, turned left or right, and tilted upward or downward. You can also remove the light from its monitor mount and put it on any tripod, which can be especially helpful for content creators. Also, you can adjust the monitor mount so it can be placed horizontally on your desktop, if you want the light to come at you from a different direction than your webcam, for example.You can use all these features without any app, but there’s also an app called Logitech G Hub that you can use to control the brightness, color temperature, and power on/off from your computer. I like using the app because the physical buttons on the back of the lamp are a bit clickly, which isn’t bad, but I prefer silent operation, especially if I need to make an adjustment while filming or while on a call. The app also shows you your face using your laptop’s internal (or external if you wish) webcam, so you can find the best combination of brightness and color temperature.The light is powered via USB. You can plug it into any USB charger or portable battery, or you can plug it into a free USB port on your computer or computer hub. The light has a USB-C jack on the back and comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable. Since my Macbook has only USB-C ports, I am using a USB-C to USB-C cable (not included) to connect the light to my Macbook.The lamp and monitor mount are made of plastic, of course, but the build quality seems very good, certainly better and sturdier than other lamp I’ve tried for this purpose.I have only one minor criticism of the Litra Glow light: I wish the lowest brightness setting were a little dimmer. So far, it has not been a problem for me, but some content creators or some people with tricky lighting situations may find the lamp is a bit too bright at its lowest brightness setting.All things considered, the Litra Glow lamp is really excellent and highly recommended, and more than justifies its higher than average price.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with clip on lights like these little ones. I use a NEEWER 10 inch desktop ring light and really like it, but was hoping to minimize clutter on the desk and have a portable option for travel. I’ve tried mini clamp-on 4 inch ring lights that were useless, so I didn’t have big expectations for a little clamp on light. I ended up buying 3 different laptop lights to compare, here’s my feedback for each below.1. LOGITECH Litra Glow Truesoft $64.99PROS:12 hr full-spectrum LED5 brightness settings and 5 colour temperatures5 very simple buttons on the back of the light – easy to navigate by feel when light is set up on monitor. Very easy to adjust by the feel of the buttons alone.Built-in cord organizationUSB poweredNo photobiological LED Hazard (UL verified* *see more info on this below).2700K – 6500K (Kelvin) – this is a good colour temperature range.250 Lumens max – this is decent as long as you’re staying within 1 meter (~3 feet) of the light360 degrees swivel top, plus angling – handyTripod mountable – nice to haveTruest natural tones – I agree. When I compared this to my 10 in ring light, and 2 other clamp-on lights, the Logitech had the best lighting – very natural looking.It performs as well as my 10 in desktop ring light, even in very low light conditions.CONS:No battery option means you can only use with laptop or desktop – doesn’t clip to phone.Slight plastic smell to the light that went away after a few days of use.OPINION: It’s worth the investment for good natural lighting that’s very simple to use. I’d quickly buy an upgraded model if they were to release a rechargeable battery operated option. Overall this was the best of all three for ease of use, quality of the light.*The UL Verified Mark Program for laser/LED products was created in response to industry demand for an independent verification of laser/LED radiation output level claims by a trusted test laboratory.2. NEEWER RGB LED Light VL66C $42.59PROS:2000mAh battery + USB. 2hr battery time at highest light setting.It charges while using, bonus.66 LEDs (colour mix)400 Lux max – it’s bright0-100% dimming2500-8500K colour temp – this is a great range.Clips to phone, laptop screen, etc.It’s very light, only 150gCONS:There are too many buttons options to switch the lighting intensity quickly if needed. Compared to the Logitech (with 5 simple buttons), this one has a whole menu of options to sift through, however the instructions provided are good.It comes with too many extra light features I didn’t need, but for some that would be a bonus. I highly doubt I’ll ever use the strobe light feature during my work calls.OPINION: I decided to keep this one as an option for travel or using with my iPhone on the go. Adjusting the light brightness and temperature can be a bit annoying, but once you get it right to your needs, it will stay on that setting until you change it. At the end of the day I like it and decided to keep it.3. WELLCHOME Video conference light ~22.99PROS:Very low price3 colour temperatures, 10 brightness levels.USB only120 LEDs800 to 10,000 LUX – very bright360 rotatable, 160 degree tilingCONS:The adjustment buttons are on a dangle attached to the cord, can be annoying as the cord often lands behind the monitor that you attach it to.No battery option means you can only use with laptop or desktop – doesn’t clip to phoneThis is not a well known company.The product claims haven’t been independently verified by UL to confirm the output levels or that there’s no photobiological risks associated with long hours of use of the product.Claims to be a Canadian company but they fail to disclose that it’s made in China.OPINION: I decided to pass on this one because it’s not independently UL verified for safety.This is an area that the company may wish to consider having verified.

I’ve been using the webcam + the light for a few days now, and overall, I’m quite pleased with it.The image quality is good, although not quite fantastic. I was expecting a sharper image, but it still performs well enough for my video conferences and family calls. I am not a streamer, though.One of the best aspects of this combo is the light. It turns on automatically when the webcam does, thanks to the Logi Hub software. This feature is convenient and ensures that I always have good lighting without any extra steps. The Logi Hub also provides additional functionalities, like adjusting light and colors settings, which adds more value to the camera and improve the overall experience. There are other streamer software options that let you show the video alongside an app, which is convenient if you are a streamer. However, since I am not, that part isn’t a plus for me.For the price, I think this is a nice combo. It might not offer the top-notch image quality that some might expect, but the added convenience and functionality from the Logi Hub make it a solid choice for my needs. I believe it offers good value for the money.
