I'm using a Manfrotto unit with 36 LEDs and a dimmer and camera mount.

it is Ok for fill lighting BUT (and this is a big but) you need to remember that it is not really white light. The spectrum is very different to sunlight. The colour temperature is all over the shop (no problem if you shoot RAW in principle). In practice, it is a problem because the colour temperature is hard to match because the spectrum shape is rather different to anything we are usually used to. In other words ... take care, colours may not be true.

For those who care about such things, the CIE chromaticity values are typically x = 0.27-0.3, y = 0.23 -0.28
