Handheld LED Lamp for illumination?

[giriwil]

Guys,
I’d like to ask about the illumination using handheld LED Lamp for underwater photography (macro photography) during the day or night diving.
- Is it OK to use LED Lamp to illuminate the object?
- And can it avoid backscatter? if used 45 degree and far enough from the lense… just like strobe position?
Many thanks for the infos

I would think it would not provide nearly enough light and that the color temperature would not be very desireable. Maybe someone that has tried it will chime in.
