The Newmowa 60 LED High Power Rechargeable Clip Fill Video Conference Light is a versatile and portable lighting solution designed to enhance video quality for video conferencing, selfies, vlogging, TikTok, and more.
With its compact size, front and back clip options, adjustable brightness, and three light modes, this LED light works with a variety of devices, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and more. This makes it ideal for anyone looking to improve their lighting for virtual meetings (professional or family get-togethers) or social media content.
Whether I'm on a Zoom call with my family members on the other side of the country or just snapping a quick photo or selfie, getting a decent picture requires good lighting. That nearly always means a supplementary light source vs. just ambient lighting. Recently, frustrated with the need to lug my large, folding, rechargeable LED lamp around to light my shots or video calls, I decided to order a clip-on LED light recommended by a friend who is a beauty influencer on social media.
I couldn't be more pleased with the Newmova Mobile Phone LED Light (model SL-60AI), for which I paid a little more than $30 on Amazon.
Here are some examples of photos I took using only ambient room light and then with the Newmova clip-on LED light on different color temperature settings so you can see the difference it makes.

The difference in the detail, color, and picture quality of these simple photos taken with an iPhone 11 Pro Max phone is striking, isn't it?

- Front and Back Clip Options: The included front and back clips allow for easy attachment to smartphones, tablets, and laptops, ensuring a secure and adjustable fit. This dual clip system enhances its versatility by allowing it to be mounted on different devices or even standalone setups. Both jaws of the clothespin-style clip are lined with rubber for a secure attachment and to avoid marring your devices. The jaws also open wide enough to accommodate even very thick phone cases as well as mounting on a laptop screen.
- Rechargeable Battery: This clip-on LED light is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for external power sources and providing freedom and convenience. A full charge offers several hours of usage, depending on the brightness level you choose.
- Adjustable Lighting Modes: The light offers three lighting modes with three different color temperatures: warm light (3200K), cool light (5600K), and daylight mode (mixed), allowing users to adapt the lighting to different environments, preferences, and skin tones. So, it’s easy to get more flattering selfies or look better in Zoom calls.
- 10 Brightness Levels: Within each lighting mode, you can easily adjust the brightness to achieve the desired level of illumination and light intensity, ensuring that details are highlighted without overexposure in photo and video applications.
- Durable Construction: The light is built to withstand everyday use, with a sturdy construction that ensures long-lasting performance.

Performance and Usage
- Bright and Even Illumination: The 60 high-power LEDs provide ample brightness, effectively illuminating subjects and reducing shadows. The light distribution is generally even, ensuring consistent lighting across the scene to ensure clear visibility during video calls or content creation. I have been extremely impressed with the brightness of this small, compact, clip-on LED light!
- Battery Life: The rechargeable battery offers a decent battery life, allowing for extended use on a single charge. However, the exact battery life may vary depending on usage patterns and environmental factors.
- Ease of Use: The light is simple to use, with intuitive controls that allow for quick adjustments to the lighting settings. As you can see in the photo, there is a power button that not only powers the light on and off, but can be pressed repeatedly while the light is powered on to rotate among the three color temperature settings. There are also two smaller buttons to turn the brightness up or down. The clip mechanism is also easy to operate and provides a secure hold on devices.
