I slapped together a ring light today was short 4 bulbs but still worked quite well. Both shots are with this light only. Thoughts?

This shot was taken when I was short 4 of the 12 bulbs. Adding the 4 bulbs gained me about 2 stops more light. Looking to add some diffusion to try and make it a solid ring.

Light looks good as is! I kinda like the look with the gaps between bulbs. Makes the catch lights interesting and unique!
