do you need a light ring with this

Well, I don't use a light ring, but LIGHT is pretty important unless you're in the sunlight or bright daylight. I did get a light ring but it was far too bright for macros. So if you could find a nice gentle light-i'd go for it. Otherwise, plan on inventing some other light source. Unless, as I said, you're in daylight. The lens doesn't shadow the subject the way the macro built into the camera does. You can get far enough away that you won't leave a shadow. Hope that helps.

No. You can not even put a light ring on with this. I shoot with it all the time.

No, because if the subject is five feet away you should be able to use your regular flash. The light ring is made for close-up macro photography. The LEDS are not as bright as your conventional flash. If the conventional flash is to bright at five feet try to bounce it.

No , but you can move and adjust lights around to get more light to area needed

Yes. It's a little ring that sounds kind of like a harp. And the light goes on. The person who said it doesn't have sound must not see how to get it with the buttons.

no, but the light is small enough, that you could just put some white duck tape over it. Plus it's not very bright.

You only have to light it at installation. It has a tiny pilot light. You will have hot water when you need it straight from the faucet. No additional lighting needed.

Yes it does, but it is not a great light. Most owners don't use it, but it is there.BradB

Yes and no. The ring can create a clear ring but it acts more like a light panel than a ring light so it's very small and looks like a normal catch light. It is too small to create what I think you have in mind. It is great if you are planning on taking macro shots of the eye though.

I have never seen it with a light mount. I have never bought one with a mount.

I didn't install it with one. But the light it puts out is relatively dim. It is much smaller than I anticipated.

No need it uses light. Just put it near light. Thats all. even in daylight near a window is ok, then you dont need a lamp.

you don't need one. Plugs right into regular socket. Doesn't need ballast or reflector. Worked well for me....for about two years...than started losing lights. When I tried to contact company....I found them out of business.

you don't have to use the light. You can take it off entirely or just turn it on and off as you like

No. It just has the single light it comes with. But you might be able to find one online.

No, there is not a light inside the unit, but it works great! There are many good reviews in this little unit. Good luck!
