Portable (wireless) lighting?

I'm always in low light situations where I don't have access to any power hookup. And i'm wondering if there's any lights that you would recomend for those times.

I should point out that it's often hike in lakes and what not so it should be light and compact.

Thanks
Stu

Just use hot shoe flashes with a wireless trigger system. You can make very light light-kits with umbrella diffuser/reflector buy using camera flashes.

If you buy 2 AF-360FGZs or a 540FGZ and a 360FGZ you can do wireless via IR with line of site/distance/bright daylight limitations.

I use 2 Sigma 500 DG supers and my AF540 as the controler. Great results, but normaly everything is in M mode (manual)
