Ulanzi GL01 GlowUp Fill Light - Noir Black

The Ulanzi GL01 GlowUp Fill Light is a magnetic fill light for your smartphone, ideal for selfies, video calls and video recording. It has two light panels, one above and one below the camera. The top light adds depth and the bottom light fills in the shadows under your chin. The colour is Noir Black.

At 3 watts, the light delivers 410 lux at 0.5 metres at 6500K. That is fill light for short distances, not light for an entire room. The colour temperature ranges from 2700K to 6500K, in three presets or continuously variable. You can adjust the brightness in five steps or continuously from 15 to 100 percent. The CRI is Ra 91 to 97, so skin tones stay true to life.

The housing has three buttons: power, colour temperature and brightness. The light has no display. If you extend the arm and fold the head over, the light falls at roughly 45 degrees. That angle applies to the iPhone 12 through 16, standard and Pro.

The magnet on the front grips the MagSafe ring of your phone. If your device has no MagSafe, use the included magnetic adapter ring. A second magnet on the back holds accessories, such as a phone tripod. On Android devices up to 15 centimetres tall, the light fits completely. You charge the 750 mAh battery via USB-C, and the light keeps working while it charges. The light measures 10 x 5.9 x 1.9 centimetres and weighs 103 grams.
