Pete156,

This reads like a good choice, it can be used for various tasks beside field photography.

Read the details very closely, and the specifications. If you have the slightest doubt contact the seller and clear up all questions before sending money.

I purchased one like you described and when it arrived there was no flash, and no way to adjust the light on the right/left side. It turned out to be a LED Ring Light. I sent it back to the seller and received a refund in my PayPal account.

Pete156,

Your choice of lighting source is dependent on the subject you will capture.

For small still life you can construct, or purchase a lighting tent and use two external strobes.
You can use a LED ring light for stills, but the light level will not be sufficient for live subjects and movement.

For small, live subjects, and possible movement, a Ring Macro flash with twin lamps that are adjustable are much more desirable. (Each lamp can be adjusted for light output for modeling, and the flash duration will be fast enough to stop insect wing movements.)
If you consider a single strobe ring flash you will have much more work trying to obtain shading (modeling) on the subject. In plain language the images may look flat.

If the greater majority of your Macro work will be in a studio type environment consider the light tent and two strobes.

If the majority of your Macro work will be in the field, consider the twin strobe Macro Ring flash.
