The Logitech Litra Glow is a flexible and economical video light for content creators with a modest budget and/or little space. [1] A monitor clip lets you attach the light to the top of your monitor or laptop screen, as close to or as far from your webcam as that screen allows, so you don’t need desktop space for a tripod. Its adjustable height and rotating, tilting hinge can set the light at nearly any angle to best fit your shot as shown in figure 1, while software control lets you tweak brightness and color temperature on the fly without physically touching the light.

Figure 1 Cheaper USB-powered video lights are readily available, but they aren’t generally designed for webcam use. They’re usually built for mounting on the accessory shoe of a digital camera, and getting one set up to properly work on top of your monitor or elsewhere on your desk can easily increase the price. Some other monitor-mounted lights are out there, but they almost never have any height adjustments or software control. For a one-piece lighting solution to go with your webcam setup, the Logitech Litra Glow is a simple and capable option that's easy to recommend.

A lot of the value is in the mount. It hooks right onto the top of a monitor -- from a thin laptop display to an external monitor up to about 1.5 inches thick. The monitor clip folds down for storage, too.

Gently pulling up on the light extends the mount vertically up to 4 inches. The mount also tilts and swivels the light so you can get the right position. [4] I wear glasses so this feature lets me get the right angle to light my face without the light reflecting in my glasses, or blinding me for that matter. The mount also has cable management clips on the back for the included removable USB-C-to-USB-A cable used to power the Glow. 

The mount design makes it perfect for anyone who needs an LED light for travel, even if it's only to a different room of your house. Plus, if for some reason you want to use the light and not the monitor mount, the Glow is attached by a standard tripod mount so you simply unscrew it to separate them.    

There are big controls on the back of the light that are easy to find and use without looking. The Glow has five levels of brightness as well as five color temperatures to choose from. Plug the light in, turn it on, adjust the light for your needs and you're good to start streaming. It can be powered by your computer or an external power source like a phone charger or power bank.
