2. Rollei Lumis Key-Light
The Lumis Key Light is the ideal addition to your desk. It is perfect for professional use in illuminating video conferences, vlogging, or streaming. Even during prolonged use, the Lumis Key Light does not cause glare. This is due to the specially designed LEDs, which are positioned at the edges of the frame rather than in the center, as is common with studio lighting. Thanks to the built-in diffuser, it produces indirect light without causing glare.
Due to its compact size, you can place it in various locations to ensure optimal lighting. The sturdy stand for the streaming light remains securely in place. It can be extended to a height between 28.5 centimeters and 78 centimeters using the telescopic function of the LED continuous light, allowing for individual adjustment. Additionally, the smart ball head of the Lumis Key Light enables perfect positioning of the lamp.
The three color temperatures (3,200, 4,500, and 5,500 Kelvin) and their eight brightness levels can be easily and conveniently adjusted with the remote control of the Lumis Key Light cable. To prevent the LED continuous light from frequently occupying the rare outlets on your desk, Rollei has included a USB-A port. Simply connect it to a USB port or USB power adapter, and you're ready to go.
