I didn't think that guide numbers had any real meaning except when using
flash.

It's interesting, there seem to be two models. DR-5000 which is a strobe

and a DR-6000 which is an LED ringlight.

They also seem to be listed as having the same guide number.

Subject: Anybody got a line on an inexpensive ring flash?
Unfortunately, when I started digging into what it would cost to upgrade my
tripod/monopod heads, and do it right, it rapidly exceeded my birthday
present budget. I was trying to photograph a spider eating a fly this
afternoon, and tried several variations of the flash, including my el cheapo
passive ringflash adapter, which threw away too much light for what I was
trying to do.
I don't have $500 to buy the Pentax ring flash, at least not new. I don't
care if it's pure manual operation. I'd like it to be powerful enough that
I could also use it for fill when doing portrait photography. I think I'd
prefer flash to LED, because if I'm hand holding a macro shot, anything
that'll help freeze motion is helpful. Especially if I'm photographing a
flower and it's at all breezy outside.
Anybody have any recommendations of flashes to look at? Or, for that
matter, ones to avoid? Or know of any awesome deals on a used one.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
