## 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
