I'm not. I have 2 DigiBees with modeling lights. And 2 speedlites. Why would I want LEDs?

Like Gary, I prefer strobes for portraits. But when cornered I would use household "daylight" LEDs.

I did try the Rotolight Neo outside for a while last year, but it was underpowered - version 2 is apparently 85% brighter and is also a flash with zero recycling time.. I´ll try the new one this year at some stage, but it´ll probably only be bright enough for close up macro type photography.
Strobes are way better, either Yongnuo or Godox. We currently use the Godox ad600 both in and outside, the lithium battery literally lasts for ages..
