Lighting : reccommended on & off camera LED lights

[kidzrevil]

Been looking into a portable lighting solution for my shoots as an alternative to looking for expensive fast glass or an a7s (lol).  I know many have including myself have issues when raising the iso past 800 when shooting with crop sensor cameras so what are your favorite LED lights or lighting setups for video

@kidzrevil Check these out:

Very light, very small, surprisingly bright for the size, and can be powered by both AA batteries or rechargeable (and cheap) Sony NPF-style batteries. CRI of 95+ too so excellent color rendering. I added AC compatibility and dedicated on-off switches to mine as well for added convenience.

I've shot full interviews with these before! Great for some quick fill too, or whatever you need them for really.

I got one of those Amarans - they chuck out an impressive amount of light for the size and price. These (http://aladdin-lights.com/eye-lite-dt/) also look fantastic at around the GBP80 mark! I've spent this month's gear money on 3 Ianiro redheads and an Arri 300 fresnel, but next month a couple of these might be on the list!
