Strange question, what is your objective? In a prepared drama then lights will be used and there will be a lighting plot, in a run and gun documentary it may be impossible to use lights. An on-camera light may be used for interviews. My guess is that most n-c film makers use lights sometimes.

One of the reasons I keep projects on external drives is that in my professional days it was much easier to re-edit a client's piece some time after it had been completed. Just hook up the drive and make the revisions, most often this was with foreign language versions where shots had to be extended...

The use of the low energy light bulbs in a small reflector may work for you. They run much cooler than other bulbs and draw much lower current for a given light output. They can be found with different color temperatures so can be matched up to the camera white balance. An inexpensive method worth t...
