im on a budget and only need the light for night interviews ....would this work --> hvl 10 nh.....what would you recommend
 
Seems it doesnt output much power. The key to any light source is control i.e. color temp, diffusion, dimmer, spill.

Dimmer is less important as you can ND it down, but you want to be able to do it / attach it neatly somewhere.
 
It's only 10W, that's not really much as a main light source at night.

I've been working once with the HVL-20 from Sony (the dual-head 10+10W on camera light). It was a real pain, it throws the worst beam you can imagine, you could just as well use a Maglite. It would be perfect to imitate a flashlight if you're going for that look. I put some 1/4 or 1/2 WD before it to make the beam acceptable, but then the output was nearly enough as a little fill even with both lights on. I didn't even bother to use one of the 10W lights alone.
