Logitech Litra Glow Review

Logitech launched the Litra Glow in 2022 as its first streaming light, aimed at creators and people on video calls. Tom’s Guide called it a superb ring light alternative.

Primary Output Performance 7.2/10

Output reaches 250 lumens, with colour temperature from 2700 K to 6500 K. TrueSoft technology uses full-spectrum LEDs for natural skin tones.

The light follows the principle of key lighting at a small scale, putting soft light on the face from the front. That brightens a webcam image and reduces noise.

For a bigger, brighter setup, the Elgato Key Light Air covers more area but costs more and needs a desk clamp. Warmer settings flatter skin tones in the evening, while cooler settings match daylight from a window.

  • Light 250 lumens
  • Mount Monitor mount (removable)
  • Height 4 inch telescoping extension

Build & Desk Ergonomics 6.0/10

The light weighs 99 g, or 177 g with the monitor mount. The frosted diffuser softens the LEDs into an even, wide panel of light.

The plastic build is light but feels sturdy enough for daily use. The mount clips onto most monitors and laptops, and it stays steady when you adjust the angle.

Remove the mount and a 1/4-20 thread lets you put the light on a tripod or arm. The power and brightness buttons sit on the back edge, where your fingers find them without looking.

  • Mount Monitor mount (removable)

Software Suite & Automation 8.3/10

The Litra Glow is controlled through Logitech G HUB. Official features include TrueSoft full-spectrum light, monitor mount.

It is listed for Windows and macOS. The official connection is USB-C to USB-A cable. When I commission a desk or a room, I like software I can set once and leave alone.

Universal Compatibility 8.6/10

The mount fits most monitors and laptops, with a 4 inch vertical telescoping extension, a 2 inch horizontal extension and 360 degree swivel.

It can sit beside a webcam on top of a monitor, though both on one bezel can be crowded. The telescoping arm raises it above the webcam to avoid conflict.

It works with Windows and macOS, and as a USB-powered light it also runs from chargers and hubs. With the mount removed, it fits small tripods, which helps when you take calls from a different room.

  • OS Windows, macOS
  • Connect USB-C to USB-A cable
  • Thread 1/4-20
  • Cable 1.5 m

Setup & Installation 9.0/10

The light connects with a 1.5 m USB-C to USB-A cable. Plug it in, clip it on and it turns on with the power button on the back.

Buttons on the back adjust brightness and colour temperature, so software is optional. Logitech G HUB adds presets and syncs settings for streaming.

On laptops with only USB-C ports, you need an adapter or hub. The cable is long enough for most desk layouts. Angle it slightly down toward your face to avoid bright reflections in glasses.

Software Suite & Automation

The Litra Glow is controlled through Logitech G HUB. Official features include TrueSoft full-spectrum light, monitor mount.

It is listed for Windows and macOS. The official connection is USB-C to USB-A cable. When I commission a desk or a room, I like software I can set once and leave alone.

Value

At around 60 dollars, the Litra Glow is one of the cheapest ways to look better on video. It costs less than most webcams.

For home offices with a single person on calls, the output is enough. For darker rooms or wider shots, a larger light makes more sense.

Logitech also sells the Litra Beam, a longer bar light, for those who want more coverage without leaving the monitor-mounted style. Two Litra Glows, one on each side, also work well if you want even light without shadows.
