Can a small LED light come in handy for accent lighting? I have been tempted to get a Flolight product so I have a light soucre for the video cabability of my DSLR. I am thinking this could also come in handy as a accent light where it would be hard to place a regular studio light. For example, I saw a photo of a model lying down and her hair was backlit (thinking the light had to be very near the floor).

Unless you REALLY know what you are doing, a small light source is the wrong way to go.
The larger, and closer, a light source, the softer it is (despite what many will say!).
