More pictures on my web site: macro flash
Compatible with 58mm filter size. I am use it with a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro USM 1:1.  The light is strong, enough to be use camera from hand. Generated light is much superior to the macro rings with regular leds.

Technical desciptions:
Total current drain ~ 2.2Ah at 7.4V, (LI-IO battery or indoor use 7V DC adapter with min. 2A)
lightweight: macro ring 102gr
The circuit is designed to have two phases of light, full or half (only half of the LEDs light up)
Ideal for super macro.
