Nanlite cookie, the Ultimate Smartphone Light
When inspiration strikes and you take out your phone to shoot selfies or create content, you never again need to compromise your look by relying on available light or your phone's auto settings. The new Nanlite cookie is a tiny LED that's always ready to brighten up your visuals. Just pop it into your phone's USB-C port, press a button to adjust brightness, and witness an instant glow-up on screen.
We created an LED light that was so incredibly compact, lightweight, and portable that you could bring it with you everywhere without effort. The cookie is so tiny that you can wear it inside its included case as a charm on a necklace. It provides warm and cool white light, either hard or soft, and it lights up on both sides for 2-sided content, like Dual-Camera Stories and Reels on Instagram.
You never need to think about charging your cookie, because they do not have batteries. It gets power from the device you plug into, so it's always ready to use. It's not only for phones, either. You can plug your cookie into any device that supplies power via USB-C, such as power-bank batteries. It's an awesome light to plug into the base of a DJI Osmo, too!
There are three color temperature options on the cookie: 3200K, 4300K, 5600K. The first option, 3200K, like the warmest light. It's like golden-hour, or the warm glow of indoor lamps. The other end of the spectrum, 5600K, is like bright sunshine. 4300K is somewhere in-between the two.
The side of the cookie has two buttons. One of the buttons is surrounded by diffuse material, the other is surrounded by slicker, clear material. The diffuse button is for controlling the soft-light side, and the other button is for controlling the hard-light side. Quick pressing turns on the corresponding side. Quick-pressing a second and third time changes brightness. Long pressing changes the color temperature. Pressing both buttons simultaneously turns on both sides for front/back content creation.
Vibe is important. That's why the cookie is available in two shapes (round or rectangular) and three different colors (Coral Pink, Cyan Blue, or Lavender). Every cookie comes with an adorable little carrying case.
Best of all, the Nanlite cookie is so inexpensive, it's trivial. This light costs $12.99. Whether you're shooting product photography, taking photos of food, live streaming, or just shooting photos with family and friends, there's no reason not to have one. The only tricky part is figuring out which one to get. Coral Pink round? Cyan Blue square? The links below provide all of the options:

When you finally decide which color to get, don't worry, you made the right choice! Good job!
