# Ring light or window?

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

**Short answer**A big window in front of you is the most flattering and shows true colour. A ring light helps at night; set it a little above eye level and not too close.

Ring lights leave a ring in your eyes; most viewers don't mind, but some creators prefer a soft panel.
