Video lights for portrait and creative

[Lyonspride]

Does anyone use these with their DSLR?

Some background..... I was at a wedding last year and the pro was using one of these as a fill light (hand held by his 2nd shooter/assistant). I guess he used it instead of an off camera flash because in darker conditions it would also help with the auto focus.
It's not something i'd ever seen before (or thought about), but the effect was really nice, especially indoors where the flash would have bounced all over the shop.

I've been thinking about getting one (like the Yongnuo YN-140) for portraits and for more creative long exposure stuff.

Waste of time/money?

In certain scenarios I have used external lighting.

It really depends on what im am trying to acheive. I have had some very good results using the Sachtler Reporter 100H.

The flexibility to quickly set up and throw light in areas to create backfill, reflective is always a welcome addition.

I have had pretty good results with the Manfrotto Maxima 84 LED
