How to get perfect lighting for every selfie

Lighting is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your photos and videos. Before lenses, before phones, before filters — light is what separates a good selfie from a great one.

Colour temperature is everything

The most important thing to understand about light is colour temperature — measured in Kelvin (K). Warm light (2700K) is flattering for skin tones, adds warmth and that golden glow. Cool light (7500K) is clean and bright — perfect for sharp video and professional looks. The Buzzco Halo™ lets you dial between both extremes instantly.

Positioning matters as much as the light itself

The best position for a selfie light is directly in front of you, slightly above eye level, angled slightly downward. This creates even, flattering illumination with minimal shadows. The magnetic attachment of the Halo makes this effortless — snap it to the back of your phone and flip the light toward your face.

Brightness control changes everything

Too much light is as bad as too little. The Halo's stepless brightness control — from 10% to 100% — means you dial in exactly the right amount for your environment. In a dark room, 20% might be perfect. In bright daylight, push it to 80–100% to compete with ambient light.
