Ulanzi M10 Magnetic Phone Video Light

Snaps onto your phone. Fixes the light instantly.

No clamp, no bracket, no faffing. It magnets straight onto the back of a compatible phone and stays there — so good light stops being something you set up and starts being something you just have.

Why you'll love it

• Magnetic mount — snaps onto the back of a compatible phone in a second, with nothing to clip or screw.
• Five colour temperatures — 2500K to 4500K, so the light matches the room instead of fighting it.
• High colour accuracy — a CRI of 91–96 means skin tones and colours look true rather than washed out.
• Five brightness levels — from a subtle lift to a proper key light, in 20% steps.
• Reading mode included — drops to 0.4W for a soft, low light that lasts far longer.
• 48g and pocketable — light enough that you'll actually carry it.

What makes it special

The CRI figure is the number that matters and the one cheap lights never quote. At 91–96 it renders colour close to natural light — which is the difference between a video where someone looks healthy and one where they look grey. Most budget phone lights sit far below this.

The reading mode is the unexpectedly useful part. At 0.4W it becomes a small, soft book light rather than a video light, and the battery lasts dramatically longer — so it earns its place in a bag even on days you're not filming.

Perfect for

• Filming on your phone — vlogs, social clips and video calls with light that doesn't come from the ceiling.
• Selfies in bad light — restaurants, evenings out, dark British afternoons.
• Reading — the low-power mode makes it a genuinely handy travel book light.
• Travel — at 48g it disappears into a bag or a pocket.

Specifications

Your questions, answered

Will it stick to my phone?
It's designed for phones with a magnetic back or a magnetic case. If your phone hasn't got one, a magnetic case sorts it.

How long does the battery last?
It depends heavily on brightness. At full power it's shorter; in the 0.4W reading mode it runs far longer. Charging takes around 70 minutes.

Why does CRI matter?
It measures how accurately a light shows colour. A high CRI means faces and objects look natural instead of flat or oddly tinted.

Can I use it with a camera?
It's built around magnetic phone mounting, so a phone is where it works best.

Carry decent light in your pocket.
