Comments about Sunpak VL-LED-42 Compact Video Light:
42 LEDs are almost enough light to avoid high iso noise, but not quite. And the vertical coverage is a little shy on the lower side of the frame so you might need a ball joint adapter for your hot shoe to tilt the unit down slightly for close-in shots. Fiddling with the invidual column rotations, you can get reasonably uniform light distribution up to the claimed 16X9 aspect ratio for a 35mm equivalent focal length. The diffusers help eliminate hot spots at the cost of some light loss. Color temperature is best handled with custom balance settings.
All in all, it completely meets my expectations.
