Build ring light for your camera

Step 5 Conclusion

These are the things that I learned while building and using this light ring. Consider them while designing your ring light.

- My Canon camera other ring which the light goes on rotates as the camera focuses. The focus motor can easily rotate the ring light but make sure that you have plenty cable around and it can rotate freely. You don’t want to burn the focus motor in your lens.
- It is not always easy to screw the ring light on the lens with all the cables around. You might consider mounting a lightweight socket on the back of the CD case. Screw the ring light on the lens without the wires and plug it in afterwards.
- You can hook all rings to the same cable. Reason I have one for each so I can unplug any of them if I don’t need so much light.

Have fun and happy shooting.

You can use two cables only one for power and one for the leds. The one for the leds can be four terminals one terminal for ground preferably the base and the others one for each ring so you can add switches and potentiometer to controll each and ring individualy.
