I use an Opteka VL-120 and that's pretty good but sucks that there is only a half hour battery life. It actually lights up quite a bit.

Alright sorry guys that I didnt know the proper terminology, hell I had no idea if these things really existed or what they looked like.

The title was "Canon Video Flash" so you can probably automatically assume I dont want flood lights, and even the thread description did a decent job explaining the general purpose of the product that im looking for.

An onboard led light wont really throw light very far. It only works well when the subject is 5ft or closer to the camera, because most just run on small batteries and dont have enough power to cast a lot of light.
