3D Printed NeoPixel LED Ring Light

Read the full guide on: learn.adafruit.com/camera-rin...
This 3D printed lighting rig is a great DIY build for your photo and video projects.
It uses an Adafruit Trinket and NeoPixel LEDs. It’s also portable and battery powered or you can plug it into the wall.
In a previous project, we made a ring light for DSLR camera using a 60 NeoPixel ring.
This new version uses RGBW type NeoPixels which produces much better lighting.
White light from RGB type NeoPixels produces a reddish hue on skin tones and gives an unnatural color temperature.
RGBW type of NeoPixels provide dedicated white light which produces much better color temperature.
Combining RGB colors together creates a white light but this just doesn’t look too good on camera.
Your phone snaps onto the 3D printed bumper, making a great lighting solution for your front facing camera.

Great video! Two suggestions: Show off some blinky patterns! It would be fun to have crazy colors reflecting off your face while doing a video chat / hangout. Reduce project cost by $7.50 by leaving out the flexible PCB, twist and tin the two power and ground wires together before soldering.

Well done, I appreciate the effort that went into this project and the video, stop frame animation is great.

Couldn't you make it work using the phones power?

What is the CRI of the white emitter in the Neopixel?

It appears to be ~3000K at a CRI of 80.
