May not buy these specific lights, however.

Video light, to light up the area while video-ing? What does it do otherwise?

LOL i had a 48 hour suspension and a 10% warn when i posted that link to Eek technology store.

The only draw back of the 5d MK II is that unless you're using a flash unit to AF assist, you've gotta manual dark locations. It's very difficult to AF in low light.
Sometimes I'm using a wireless setup on the flash units and I need 3 independent strobes and the location is relatively dark. A nice light will help me with AF, although the wireless canon trigger has AF assist. Since I started doing video/photo slideshows with Animoto on-location (non HD, although 16:9) in some events for promotional purposes (since playing Starcrack with 250+ APM gives me sexy photo editing skills), the primary use of the lights will be with DSLR video.



LOL did they say you're advertising here? That's funny!

either I really miss the point of these or they are really crap

I mean...... a 15 watt light that lasts like 10-15 min per charge and needs 5 hours for recharging. sounds a bit useless. but then again, I´m not really experienced with video lighting

They are crap. The lights I need are the ones that use the sort of battery cameras use. Just thought i'd point out this Eek Technologies business
