I dont have time to watch the video but it sounds like your describing a gobo not a light.

Are you talking about the reflections in the sunglasses, and then later when he walks past it?

It looks like many kino flo tubes which create a radial pattern. You don't necessarily need them to 'plug in' only on one side. Most likely, they taped the cords down on the opposite side of the bulbs.

This is pretty simple to make out of kino bulbs, if you have a crafty gaffer.

Any other questions, let me know.

Is that for real? When I saw it in the first video I thought it was a ridiculous prop.

Maybe it's me; but the reflection of that light in her eyes in the second video is way to distracting. I imagine it makes for a soft light, but why not just use a soft box?
