Need Video light for GL2 recommendation	Can't Post

I know I saw it posted here ages ago, but what does everyone recommend for a camera mounted video light for wedding receptions on a Canon GL2 camera? I am getting ready to shoot a reception at a place that is infamous for turning down the lights to practically pitch black as soon as dinner is over. I usually buy from B&H so it would be a plus if they carry it!
Thanx,

I use the Canon 10w shoe mounted light. Some would say you need more light but I find its very adequate. I do try to get within 15 feet of the subject too though. If you think you'd be less obtrusive you might try something with more wattage. As if that's less intrusive!

Canon VLi light. It uses the same batteries as the GL2.
