On board camera lights.
Waste of time. They sit on your camera, zapping power, and have all the strength of a decrepid glowworm. They also blast straight ahead, which flattens rather than flatters your subject and create bloody big shadows over the rest of your picture. Forget 'em.

That's an unhelpful answer to a legitimate issue.
Shooting in low-light situations is a constant challenge to every shooter -- film and video. Think about daylight: there are a zillion different permutations with an equal number of approaches to shooting scenes with it. Same with artificial light.
The one great built-in advantage with your DVX100 is this: it's cheap to experiment. The real cost is the time you invest to use the camera effectively.
Search the posts on this site -- there are lots of useful tips about settings and technique. There are also stills and clips that show how a problematic shot -- like low light -- was handled.
But everyone who is honest will tell you the same thing -- get to know your camera. Get out and shoot!
And don't listen to knuckleheads who tell you to forget such-and-such light, or laugh out loud when they have nothing to useful to say.
