USER MANUAL
BENDIE-BRITE
FOLDING USB BI-COLOR
RING LIGHT (18 IN.)

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RAYA.
You can take the Raya 18-inch Bendie Brite FRB-NPF-18
with you anywhere you want to record, chat, or livestream,
indoors or out. The 18-inch LED ring is ideal for lighting
vlogs, interviews, influencer videos, and broadcasting
from home. Its bi-color LEDs are housed in a diffuser
that softens and spreads the beam for a flattering single-
shadow light that’s bright and color accurate.
This ring light runs on battery or AC power so it’s as
effective in the field as it is in the office or at home.
Variable color temperature adjustment from 2700 to
5600 K lets you light subjects with the warmth of a
tungsten bulb, bright daylight, and everything in between.
The light folds to a compact size and fits inside its own
carry case so you can sling it over your shoulder and move
to your next location or setup.
