Last year I took my Leica Q and a couple of flashes - on one camera for fill and a hand held softbox.
I cut the environment to near black with aperture/shutter/iso settings and then used a Godox 360 to overpower it and create my own light, the results were pretty cool

But now I've done it once - I know how it'll turn out, and it'll just be more of the same if I do it again..
So to keep things interesting for me, I bought some Rotolight Neos.

You can change the temperature of them via a dial on the back, as well as the power level, you can fit filters - so I might consider using a colour. I could just balance them to be the same colour, but that feels boring..
I did a selfie test shot with the above warm/cold light mix - i'm thinking fire and ice

I won't be able to vastly overpower the ambient with them, but having visible control over the light positioning will be a boon
Also one draw back is there is only so bright you can go without blinding your subject..
