We've been using them quite awhile to light speakers for video and haven't had a problem with them.

Watch out for those Bescor LED heads, they are cheaply made. And the battery kit we got with them burn them out in a few minutes. Out battery may have been miss-matched third party by the seller, so I can't say for sure. These batteries seem to be also by Bescor, so might be fine:

There are lots of good option once toy move into photography LED lights, but most are going to start in the $150 range. And if they run on batteries, those are specialized and with be $50 each extra.

You might look at led lamps for photography/videography. You can control the color of the light.

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a battery operated lamp to use during workshops that has good color balance. 

Many people use OTT lights. I like them well enough for sketching, but not for watercolor work or direct scientific lighting. I don't like the color the OTT puts out, nor the difficulty getting proper scientific lighting.

This lamp was suggested, but I'm not sold on it either.  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/reviews/home-gift-collapsible-led-desk-lamp-reading-light/27433837?ean=9780594572008#reviews-header 

Any suggestions? It has to be cordless.

Thanks for your experience.

Gretchen
