# LED Ring Light - 76mm Diameter

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4433 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/led-ring-light-76mm-diameter.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/led-ring-light-76mm-diameter.html.md))

This LED Ring Light is designed for use with microscopes but Adafruit kinda like the design and think it could be a really nice LED element for costuming or lighting effects...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $38.55 (inc GST) — $35.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $33.99 (exc GST) · 50+ $33.29 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 20 and Aug 24.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4433:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4433:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

**This LED Ring Light** is designed for use with microscopes but Adafruit kinda like the design and think it could be a really nice LED element for costuming or lighting effects or... something else? Of course you could also just use it as a great addition to your photo and video projects. It's *super illuminating* with cool, soft, light, perfect for photo studio lighting. Adafruit have also seen these used as microscope illuminators for intense, focused, and shadow-free detail work.

Hook it up with 9V power, and you're one step closer to *lights, camera, action!* You'll need to provide 9V power, it won't work with 5V for sure. This [wall adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/5-15v-dc-3a-adjustable-appliance-powerpack.html) will do the job for when you have an outlet. If you want to power from a USB supply, try this [USB-9V booster cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-to-2-1mm-dc-booster-cable-9v.html). For DIY connections, check out our [2.1mm male DC plugs](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=2.1mm%20male%20dc).

Note these are not 'NeoPixel' LED strips, you can turn the entire thing on/off or dim it with a PWM power signal but you cannot turn on individual LEDs.

Originally, this ring came with a dimmer, but it was built into the wall adapter so not very useful for portable projects. This guide on analog [RGB LED strip control](https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips) will show you how to dim a 9V LED - you'll want a microcontroller with a PWM output, and a single N-MOSFETs to control the power
