    Ken, I use a multi-LED lamp, listed as a video light I think. Has a variable brightness control, photo shows it on a low setting. Takes six AA batteries, which seem to last forever! 20151012_182502.jpg

    That's an interesting little tool! I wonder what type of sales outlet would carry such an item?
