NEEWER BASICS M22 67mm Ring Light review

A tiny ring light that screws onto 67 mm lens threads, phone cases and cages, for macro and selfies, at about $24. It runs 30 minutes at full brightness.

A ring on the lens

The M22 screws onto 67 mm threads, which makes it a tiny ring light for macro lenses and threaded phone rigs.

Output

840 lux at 0.3 m with CRI 95+.

Short runtime

Half an hour at full power.

Fit

Check that your lens or case has a 67 mm thread.

Macro with a ring

On a 67 mm macro lens, the ring sits right around the front element and lights a close subject evenly from all sides. That removes the shadow the lens itself casts on tiny subjects.

Phone creators

With a 67 mm threaded phone case or cage, the M22 sits around the phone’s lens for even selfie light. Without a threaded mount, you will need an adapter such as NEEWER’s LA006, sold separately.
