Logitech is entering the video lighting market with its new Litra Glow system which is software controllable and has cinematic color accuracy suitable for all skin tones and safe for day-long use.
Unlike a ring light, the Litra Glow has a frameless diffuser that radiates a wide and soft light that is far more flattering than the harshness created by a ring source and it also eliminates harsh shadows no matter what the Litra Glow’s power settings. As well as being flattering, Logitech says it has concentrated on making the light source safe for day-long use and it has been cleared for even the strictest UL testing guidelines suggested for all-day streaming.
One of the bugbears when using video lighting is getting the correct height and direction of the light source. The Litra Glow has a three-way monitor mount offering adjustable height, tilt and rotation for creating the ideal lighting effect. There’s even a regular tripod thread for mounting the light on a tripod or lighting stand. ... [+]The killer feature is the way that the Litra Glow can be controlled using Logitech’s G-Hub software.
Setting up the Litra Glow takes just a few seconds. The unit is powered by a regular USB-C cable that can be plugged into any computer or USB hub. In case the user doesn’t want to use the G-Hub software, there are manual switches on the rear of the Litra Glow unit that can turn the LEDs on and off, as well as adjust the brightness levels and the color temperature.... [+]The rear of the Litra Glow has manual controls for adjusting light levels and color temperature.
As a brand, Logitech is great at boosting productivity so this shift into the video lighting market is a smart move by Logitech as it makes lighting easy and has brand recognition from Logitech. The Litra Glow is so easy to set up and adjust, it can be ready in seconds. It’s easy to change brightness levels and color temperature shifts using the G Hub software or the manual controls.
