Don't rag on my camera too bad but I use a simple point and shoot Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS to create video tours of houses I sell which works really well, as long as the power is on in the house.
However, many times these homes are empty and the electricity is off or the light fixtures are missing altogether so there is no light aside from what comes in from outside. I end up with a very dark room which makes it difficult to see much in the video.
To compensate I currently carry my handy dandy Cooper Lighting Might-D-Light 80 LED 15-Watt Folding Work Light around the house with me to light up each room as I shoot the video. It lights pretty consistently and evenly but only in a small area so I wonder if there is something better I can use?
I need something battery powered, handheld, and BRIGHT to carry with me as i film each video tour. I'd like to light up the entire room with whatever I get so that it appears that I'm filming a house with power on if that's even possible--LED i presume is the way to go, but I don't know what type of light to get.
Any suggestions?
