We use them. I agree with Bob, but there are some redeeming qualities to
consider. I think their main strength is lighting a talking head in a vtc
application, where two of them are offset on the ceiling about 5 or 6 feet
from the subject. They come in two versions, a master and slave, so you can
daisy chain them and tweak the illumination level from a single IR remote.
They cost about $900 apiece.
good video needs light so sometimes you trade some subject comfort for the
audience. We found it's not too bad with a little experimentation in your
space.
