Camera light for XL2 (Cheap)
 
Does anyone know of any cheap camera lights that are bright enough for wedding receptions, proms, run-n-gun interviews, etc... price under $150

3 watts doesn't seem like any light at all, wouldn't that be similar to a night light in terms of brightness..

This is a nice, low-cost Canon 10 Watt light that runs off of Canon type camera batteries.

I was looking at that, but how much of the battery would it suck up?

I was thinking between those two would be good.

A good, fully charged Canon BP-945 or similar battery will last over 200 minutes. From memory, I believe the chart says 270 minutes.

In practice, the battery lasts a long time.

That's passed my price limit though, so do you think http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...era_Light.html is a good deal and work fine for weddings and dances?
