Using Portable LED's to Light for an Interview

After purchasing the Dot Line DV60A and Striker Flexit for a video shoot at a nightclub, I started wondering how well these led's might work in an interview setting. Because they are so light and portable, I thought it might be interesting to know what I could do if I were ever in a bind without my standard video lights. I was pleasantly surprised by the look I achieved and if I were in an emergency situation, I'd feel comfortable enough to use a similar setup (Perhaps with a few more DV60A's or similar). I was not a fan of led technology for video use for a long time, but I think I may be becoming a convert. Let me know your thoughts below.

Portable LED Lights - Dotline DV60A and Striker Flexit Review

So I finally broke down and purchased an on-board camera light, the Dotline DV60A.  It's a pretty robust little light for the price and works better than expected.  I also bought A Striker Flexit, which is actually an LED work light but came in handy on a recent shoot.  To see the review for both of them, please watch the video below.
