Had this kit for two years: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Combo_LED.html

But now I use a kino ring light on cam along with my main kino lights on stands and one kino overhead on a boom.

The ring light blows away any light on top of the cam. The reason is that when you use a light that mounts directly on the hot shoe you get the lighting a few inches ABOVE where you are aiming with the lens. But with a ring light you get a nice uniform light that is perfectly placed since it is shining from a circle around the lens.

The only drawback with the kino fluorescent ring light as opposed to my Lite Panel Leds is that the kino ringlight has to have a ballast which kinda weighs down my cam even more.

I would be interested in a kino LED ringlight IF it doesn't put out that "blue-ish" shade that the leds have always seemed to have a tendency to produce.

One thing for sure...the ability to light up scenes very nicely has never been better.
