Yes
I'm thinking about a light for lighting building walls, parked cars etc. Something ideally rechargeable or batteries. Something not too big, like what a car mechanic or DIYer would use. One of those LED handheld thingies you see in Aldi every now and then within the tools section.
I don't want a big lighting rig with tripods and soft boxes etc. Just something tough that you can put on the floor and angle towards the subject.
Any suggestions please?
 



I was happy to replace the B1 I used for the task by the
more portable B2. Fantastic tools but not available at
Aldi and not at Aldi's price range.:(
 
When looking at LED then the CRI is important... perhaps something like the Yongnuo YN360 which claims a CRI of 95 or better.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of a dedicated photography light. I'm thinking DIY/Mechanics light and not too expensive. I was looking for advice of types of bulb/LED and power/lumens that would give a good light spread, maybe adjustable spread for pinpoint or large area.

Something like this maybe?

Possibly would be OK, there is no CRI mentioned so it could be low and colour rendition may not be too good...
