The biggest problem with using ring lights, however, is that the lights aren’t diffused. You can remedy this problem by draping a veil or cloth over the lights so that the lights diffuse over your subject. You can also place a "scrim" from a 5-in-1 reflector set in front of the ring light to diffuse the light. The round thing in this photo is what a scrim looks like.

To avoid all this diffusion, an easier solution to product photography is using an umbrella light. Specifically, a light that coms with a "shoot-through umbrella."

To further reduce shadows and brighten your photo, use a "reflector". A reflector is anything white you place opposite your light source to reflect light onto the far side of your scene. You can use white foam core, a trifold poster board, or even a white-based Surface like I'm using in this photo. And it doesn't have to be pure white to work. If you own a white-based Surface like White Marble or Subway Tile and aren't using it in your scene, it makes a great reflector too!
