Introduction Thank you for choosing Impact. The Impact 3-Lamp Fluorescent Ring Light 19" is a continuous light for photography and video. It casts a soft, wraparound glow without the harsh shadows of conventional flashes. Three fluorescent lamps produce a pleasing daylight color at 5200 K for natural light quality, and white lining in the housing maximizes the output.
