With ring lights, you control your exposure manually to get the lighting correct. If your image is too bright, just drop the exposure back a bit until you get it right.

I'll take Jerry to task here, I will guarantee I'll get a far better image of a whole flower using a macro lens that your 50mm standard lens. You would have to crop a fair bit of the image to just get a single flower filling the frame.

By using a tripod, I can also get sufficient depth of field to render all of the flower in focus. By playing with the aperture, I totally control how much of the image I want in focus. Mind you, that is by using an SLR or other camera that has aperture settings such as the Canon Power Shot G series.
