LED Macro Ring Light in less than one hour

LED Macro Ring Light in less than one hour
This instructable is inspired by some other similar instructables (e.g. http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-48-LED-Macro-Ring-Light-for-SLR-for-10/)
The difference is, that all you need for this Macro Ring Light is a Dremel® or similar tool and no additional hardware.
The used camping light still works with the built-in switch and batteries.
This Ring Light is designed for my Olympus E-520 SLR but I think this method will work for other SLRs too.
It will be attached to the lens hood fixture.
Making this Ring Light took me less than one hour, making the pictures during the process included.
