Cheap LED's won't have flat colour profile, but evaluate white balance and good to go!

Ringlights are great for shooting all those small objects for eBay.

This looks like it would do the job and it's quite a bit cheaper than the one I have!

Cool find Grin

I recently bought a dozen 24-LED lights with a magnet embedded in their backs. An A4-sized steel sheet provides a mount that can be held in my left hand to give adequate light for nighttime indoor video. The lights were discounted to 6 AUD each
