Ambient Light Simulator

A real-time color animation display and auxiliary tool

Introduction

Your idle monitor, iPad or even old phone can act as a perfect lighting device! This tool turns your ordinary screen into a professional ambient light instantly. It works great for live streaming, working, relaxing and more scenarios.

As many photographers know, the soft light emitted from a screen (area light source) is much gentler than cheap ring lights (point light source), and it avoids shiny reflections on faces. With this tool, you can make the most of your devices in these practical ways:

1. Save money on fill lights

Place a tablet beside your computer and turn on Single Color mode with 4500K warm white light. It brightens your complexion during video calls and prevents dark-looking faces.

2. Save money on decoration

Put an old monitor behind you while live streaming and enable gradient effects. Your background will be decorated with premium dynamic lighting.

3. Professional photography lighting

Set your phone screen to high-saturation blue and place it beside your products for side lighting. The photos you take will have a professional commercial style.

This is the best free solution to decorate your live stream room or add atmosphere to your desktop. Don't let your idle screens sit unused!
