Re: LED Ring Light

The wires are a little too skinny to work well in the Power Distribution board (and they're too small for a 20 Amp breaker, but there's not much you can do about that). I'd use a small section of the pale green terminal strip from the Kit of Parts to connect red and black wires of the appropriate gauge from the PDB to the ring light wires.

That will power the light full time. I don't know if you want to do that. Our practice drivebase has the camera light connected to a Spike relay module so we can turn it on and off on demand.
