I have never heard of this light until a recent internet search trying to understand the ins and outs of macrophotography.

Has anyone used this light? It's not a strobe but a continuous "on" ring light that, as far as I can see, would be very useful in macro photowork.

Any feedback, good or bad?

Never heard of it until now . I think it could help in focusing hard to see objects.
Don't know if the light being on continuous would scare of some timid insects.
Good idea though.
