Lighting 4 filming wildlife at night

[deer boy]

Can anyone recommend any lighting or torches to use for wildlife filming at night.
At the moment i use a 2 million candle power spotlight which is good for brightness & distance of light,but it doesn't last long.

Does anything stay long enough to be filmed with 2million candle power on them ?
The trend seems to be toward L.E.D's or a powerful flash with a fresnel magnifing lens or are you a video-er

Thats what i thought when i first went out with it,but i filmed a fox while using it & he didn't seem to mind the light,he came within arms reach.
Probably couldn't see

Yes filming with a camcorder although i might use a 'photo' camera in the future

How about these; http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...ht-needed.html

There are commercial l.e.d ringlights available but they are very pricy.
L.e.d.'s vary in colour but can be bought as pure white from some suppliers
also battery life is very good for the amount of light produced.
They are not difficult to make I mount mine on old cd's but plastic car headlight reflectors and ply are light weight.
My first led lamp was made for me after I asked around in my local Maplins for someone to help
