From experience, and tl;dr: your LED floods are useless mixed with
strobes used normally, but you can drag your shutter to make it work.
A bit more info. While that 30W flood puts out 3000 lumens, and that's
impressive for an LED, strobes put out 10,000,000 lumens.
Thanks Bruce. My guess was that if anyone had done this, it would have
been you. I ended up ordering a 50W version

However, here's hope. If you drag your shutter you can in fact mix the
two. Background light is one place where I have found that to work.
Usually I use it when mixing strobe with ambient light, but it works
just as well for any continuous light source, tungsten, CFL, LED,
video projectors, etc.
Yup, looking at them for background light, *possibly* rim. I can also
play with turning down the power on the strobe and taking advantage of
the inverse square law.
Worst case, I end up with a colored light to use at parties etc.
I also decided to try an experiment with an LED modeling light in my
strobe. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the incandescents get
way too bloody hot, so I tried modding a 100W equivalent dimmable LED.
If it works, I'll put one in all of them.
