i use the micro-lite fv-1000 following the advice from Sam for me work really well, is not cheap but you can feel the difference compared to a common fluorescent, all the way i preferre the fluorescent light instead the led light because i feel a better diffusion of the light and less reflections on the metal.

I use the hologen w fibre optics. Adjustable. But not particularly portable.
But then when I'm on the go I don't use a scope either.

I've always used dimmable flourescent ring lights...

Plus overhead and side lighting if needed for the job.

Can't really have too many options when it comes to lighting. You (I, at least) never know what the next job will be?

Never found an LED ringlight I actually liked. May never? I am a creature of habit...
