The problem with "ring lights" of any type is that you will often get undesirable circular reflections/highlights. And if that ring is also composed of many undiffused discrete bright lights sources (LEDs) you can really get some ugly reflections/highlights. Might be useful if you have to quickly crank out a lot of pictures of different subjects of very low reflectance... but overall (at least initially) I would explore other lighting configurations.One thing I thought might be quite useful is some kind of LED ring light to go around the objective (a bit like a small version of a stereomicrocope ring LED).
