Previously the only LED Ring light available on eBay and Amazon was the 352 LED Ring light (as seen here). The 352 is a very bright light with good diffusion, but only dims down to about 40-50 percent. Basically, it's always pretty bright so it could be offensive when used directly towards a subject in low lighting - i.e. Weddings.

Now the Falcon Eyes 240 LED ring light is available on eBay. Of course a bit cheaper than the 352 with it's smaller size, but it does come with a few extra items the 352 doesn't have. First off the 240 looks like it has a better mounting bracket. I threw the 352 bracket away, it was pretty useless. It also looks like a much better form factor and casing than the 352. The 240 also comes with a tungsten colored filter, a battery pack which can be powered with (12) AA batteries OR (2) Sony NP-F750 camcorder batteries, and a travel bag.
I know this light has been around for a while, but this is the first time i've seen it on eBay. I can't seem to locate any reviews to see how well it dims down. If you've got some information on this light leave some comments. You can find the new 240 LED ring light available here.

Post author@arturo sanchez - I just used a friction arm to keep mine in place. These lights aren't very heavy. I'm sure you can get a stronger arm that attaches to a 15mm rod. Here's how I fit mine on a Glidecam httpss://cheesycam.com/last-minute-glidecam-mods/

Steven: Yes,Lite panels have their Ringlite mini and allows 15mm and 19mm rods,but it is too expensive:

Emm, do you think that would be possible to make a DIY 15mm mount support for cheapest solutions like the Falcon using any of these lite panels accesories:

Post author@Tony - For photography like Macro, I guess you would just use the Auto Focus. For Video, it doesn't need to be directly on the camera like that. You can see how the 352 is being used on an Arri Alexa here: httpss://cheesycam.com/352-led-ring-light-on-arri-alexa/

How the heck do you manual focus with that thick thing around the lens?
Steven
Too bad nobody makes a ring light that mounts onto 15mm rods.
That would be pretty sweet to just slide it in around the lens.
