We found the FIRST Choice led ring to be a little dim for our liking, we made a custom led ring with 24 high brightness 5mm leds on a vero board, because of the brightness we are powering it off a spike so we can turn it on and off to ensure it doesn't interfere with/annoy the drivers/operators on the opposing alliance as it is quite bright.
