In preparation for another (first post-pandemic) trip to Cozumel, I built a camera tray and bought an US$80 LED "video light" on Amazon. I also converted a cheap dive light to a flood and although it worked, It was really not bright enough and the mount I built broke.
Bottom line and why I am even mentioning it after all this time: I am going to do the ring light because now I have a Canon G16 in an Ikelite housing that I got for free from a friend (long story). I 3D printed all the parts for my "tray" using SS hardware to assemble things (and 3/8" - 9.5mm) acrylic for the base. A lot of time has passed since I started thinking about this and technology has advanced.
Bottom line: I can 3D print the ring for the LEDs and fill it with liquid acrylic - watertight. Details about which LEDs, wiring and controls are TBD at this stage.
If anyone is interested, I can post updates.
