For macro I've used both diffused flash and LED units. I now have four 49-LED units which can be used as one array both on or off camera or separately to light the subject from multiple locations. Although I really like the idea of fixed light sources, they don't produce enough light for higher shutter speeds and I still mostly use flash to stop movement.

Woody, thanks. Helpful to hear from someone that has used both. Which LED do you use? Would you recommend them to someone that wants to try a fixed light source or have you encountered more appealing alternatives since obtaining your current setup?
