Outdoor Floral compositions: Used a small LED panel or Lume Cube?

Re: Outdoor Floral compositions: Used a small LED panel or Lume Cube?

No, but I understand the physics.  I did think about a LED panel, but it is easy to drown in gear.  With flash you can balance daylight and flash by changing the shutter speed, which you cannot easily do with continous lighting.  With a continuous light you can judge the effect better but as the images come up immediately without a trip to the lab that is less of an advantage than it might have been.  It helps with focusssing too.

The advantage of a panel is of course that the shadows won't be as deep, like a softbox. I am after an image without deep shadows.
