How this score is calculated
Each criterion is the weighted average of its available spec scores (0–10), calculated from official specifications using our Accessories scoring matrix. Empty specs are skipped, not scored as 0. The Expert Score is the weighted average of the scored criteria, shown out of 10; stars = Expert Score ÷ 2 (a 9.4/10 score is 4.7 stars), to one decimal.

Logitech G Litra Beam Review
Logitech G launched the Litra Beam in 2022 as a larger sibling to the Litra Glow. Its TrueSoft LEDs follow the idea of a soft key light placed in front of the subject.
Primary Output Performance 7.2/10
Logitech’s TrueSoft technology uses full-spectrum LEDs behind a frosted diffuser, aimed at natural-looking skin tones on camera.
Spec-based reasoning: the 2700 K to 6500 K range lets the light match warm room lamps in the evening or daylight from a window, so the webcam is not balancing two different colour temperatures. Logitech does not publish a colour rendering figure for it.
Compared with the Elgato Key Light Air, the Litra Beam runs on USB power and sits on its own base, while Elgato’s light offers app control over Wi-Fi and more output.
Logitech lists it at $99.99, more than clip-on lights but with a larger diffuser and higher output.
Spec-based reasoning: more light on the face lets a webcam use lower gain, which reduces noise and improves colour.
If you only need a small boost, the Litra Glow costs less and clips to the monitor.
- Type LED key light
- Light 400 lumens
- Mount Desktop stand
- Height 370 mm to 615 mm
Build & Desk Ergonomics 6.0/10
The Litra Beam is a long LED bar with a frosted diffuser, mounted on a desktop stand. The stand adjusts from 370 mm to 615 mm in height.
The bar tilts and rotates on the stand, so it can be angled at the face from beside the monitor.
Software Suite & Automation 8.3/10
The G HUB app adds presets and on-screen control for brightness and colour temperature.
- App Logitech G HUB
- Features TrueSoft full-spectrum light
Universal Compatibility 8.6/10
Because it only draws power from the computer, it works with any webcam and with both Windows and macOS.
The stand places the light beside or behind the monitor, clear of the webcam. Two lights, one on each side, reduce shadows.
Because it stands on its own base, it suits laptops on stands and docked setups where a monitor clip does not fit.
- OS Windows, macOS
- Connect USB-C (power)
Setup & Installation 9.0/10
The light runs on USB-C, needing 5 V at 1.4 A for full brightness. Logitech includes a USB-C cable.
Connect it to a computer port or charger, and it turns on with the power button. Physical buttons on the light adjust brightness and colour temperature without software.
If a USB port cannot supply 1.4 A, the light runs at lower brightness, so a wall adapter is the safer power source.
- Plug & Play Yes
- In Box Light
- Mount Desktop stand
- OS Windows, macOS

The Verdict
Buy the Logitech G Litra Beam if your webcam image looks dim or shadowed, you have desk space beside the monitor and a USB source that supplies 1.4 A.
Skip it if you have no room for a stand or want a light on the monitor: the Litra Glow clips on for less. For Wi-Fi app control and more output, look at the Elgato Key Light Air.
