generally LED lights are good up to about 1-2 meters max. Beyond that they simply don't have the power. So for close portraits and macros this would work reasonably well. Just remember, these will never "freeze" the action like a strobe would. But for the price it looks like a good item to add to a (lightweight) kit.
