Advice on Lighting Option Please

Hello all,

I have a mirrorless camera (R5 Canon) that does not allow for flash use in focus stacking.  I shoot mainly lichen, ferns, Bryophytes, and fungi in forests.  I use a 50mm Sigma 2.8 macro lens.  The forest floor has been un-shaded by canopy over the winter, but now light conditions are about to change.  I prop the camera on my camera back pack and shoot at higher ISOs, allowing hand stabilized bursts of 20-24 shots.  (DxO denoiseing is amazing. ) Anyway, my subjects are about to become deeply shaded, and I am looking for an artificial light source.  Any recommendation for an LED ring light connected to a power source at the flash attachment? Roughly  $75-250 price range?

Thanks for any help.
