Nikon announced this new product. Ring light for macro photography that can be directly screwed on to the 28mm filter thread of the CP9XX series camera. Can also be used on cameras with larger lens size through a step down adapter.
This is not a strobe light like a flash, but a flood light. The light comes from 8 pieces of white LEDs. Power source is 2 X CR2-type Lithium batteries, and the estimated battery life is 6 hours. Using flood is good because it helps the camera's auto-focusing.

The price has not been announced yet, but my DIY nerves are already twitching.
In US, super bright white LEDs retail for US$3 a piece. Can anyone tell me what's the price in Singapore?
If I manage to make one, I will definitely post the details here.
