It's some type of ring light. Looks to me like it's homemade, but I could be wrong. There's tons of info out there on DIY versions.

Here's a how to on building one and how to use it from DVXUser, Polcan99....

it called a ringlight and you can purchase ready made (awfuly expensive, several thousand dollars) or build one for $50.
depends the power and effect you need.
