HumanCentric Video Conference Lighting - Webcam Light for Streaming, LED Monitor and Laptop Light for Video Conferencing, Zoom Lighting for Computer, Replace Ring Light for Zoom Meeting, Double Kit

These lights are awesome! I purchased them to provide some better fill for my face since I have windows behind my desk and was really impressed with their quality and usefulness. Purchasing more for other peoples workstations.

This review is for a four pack of the HumanCentric lights, and a review of a cable to extend the length of them that I received from HumanCentric after asking about it. HumanCentric sent me the extension cable for free, but did not request that I post a review. My choice to do so is completely my own.Below is the message I sent Humancentric including my experience with the optional cable. I believe it provides a decent review of the lighting product as well, and have posted it in it's entirety."Hello all, I received the cable and have been using it though the month of September. First off I want to say thanks for great customer service. The cable arrived before the lights did. Impressive.Here is a quick review. The system itself is extremely easy to setup and also extremely effective. I definitely could have used just two lights. My corner of the office is difficult to light nicely. While the ambient lighting we have is pleasant there is a lamp and window behind me, making it difficult for cameras to do anything but provide a washed out and poorly lit image of my face during meetings. These lights fix that, even with the window blinds cracked to provide a little extra ambient light to the room.For the cable itself, it let me extend four lights across my 24" and 40" monitors easily. I have previously owned a 49" monitor and would not have had problems there either. The length is great.My only real issue is a voltage drop along the cable. Testing using increasingly larger USB-C power supplies there is a clear difference in how bright the first light is compared to the fourth light on the chain. It's a fairly minor nit, there is still plenty of light provided. It is my only real complaint about the system. I have attempted to take photos of this, but it's difficult to capture.That said, I do have one suggestion that I would like to propose. I am a stickler for clean cabling. I like the 'stadium effect' of the lights on top of my monitor, but would love thinner connecting cables. If they could be sleeker and thinner (I understand I just complained about voltage drop, please humor me) and lie flat along the top of my monitor I believe the look could be much cleaner than it currently is. The headphone jack style connectors are probably very cheap, but they are bulky. I would love it if the system was as flat as possible across the top of my monitor.Thanks for great engineering, service and for creating a quality product."

I love the lighting this provides and the adjustable color temperature. It works well with virtual meetings. My main complaint is the length of the connecting cord. It just isn't long enough for larger monitors. It likely will work well with 24-inch monitors or smaller but not so well with 27-inch monitors.My package was missing the USB-C to USB-A adapter, which posed no real problem as my power block has several C and A outlets. It would be great to have a remote control for the light as I have for my desk light as the inline control is inconvenient behind the monitor because that is where my power block is located.Suggestion for a new light - Have a 90-degree downward lamp to light up the desk with a switch that is independent of the video light on/off and color temperature. This could replace the bulky desk lamp that I have hovering over my monitors!Overall, I'd recommend this light for 24-inch monitors or less but not for larger monitors.

OK, so it's not that bright. Possibly bright enough as a fill light, but when half of the light is blocked, it's just not that bright.Blocked? Why is it blocked, you ask? Because I have a wide monitor with a lovely monitor lamp to illuminate my desk (which I love). A lot of people do this, now. It's great. But... the power cable is so short, half of the light is blocked behind the, um, light. So, a light blocks the light!This is a crazy expensive light for what it is, but I figured it would look good and work. It does neither very well. Why on earth do they not include either a longer cable (by three inches) or an extension cable for those that need it? As it is, I will either have to buy an extension (or make one) or return this.For $19.95, I'd probably put up with it, but not for $70.

Great little light here. Using on a 13" MacBook Air(2022) and it works well. Strong lighting on all settings. Easy articulation and adjustments for chosen angle with well built fittings. Feels solid and not flimsy at all. Quality build.Rests nicely on top of laptop screen with a clever little cutout to avoid blocking your camera lens. Feels like a well thought out Chicago Designed product. Intuitive light controls make it an overall win for anyone who does video all day. I look 10 years younger(YMMV) This is a well built product and justifies the price IMHO.Pros: Thoughtful design. (Chicago!) Well built. Sleek and sexy profile looks like it was built for Mac. Multiple lighting colors(tones?) and intensities. Simple to use and install.Cons: Silly amount of cable for ANY mobile user. You need MAYBE 12"-16" from light to typical USB C port, but you will have 6 feet to deal with until the day you die. This cord problem, and much of the sales pitch/pricing model, seem to be aimed at enticing the "multi light" user, which is not me.Wishlist: 14" power cable w/inline switch option. Would 100% buy a battery powered/rechargeable "travel/mobile" version of this if it would hold charge for a few hours.
