good continous light

Since when has the sun been a coninuous light in this country Tom? Sunlight tends to disappear quicker than the flash of a studio light. ;-)
On a serious note, I don't think you'll get continuous lights with a golden glow, you'll need some kind of gel to achieve that but you have to be careful with gels on continuous lights because of the heat. You may want to use a light in to a gold reflective brolly.

The Lencarta QuadLite is the most powerful in its class. You could safely fit a gel because it's pretty cool running, but you could also remove the softbox and fit a gold umbrella instead.

Yes. Though it's pretty useless with an umbrella - light goes everywhere, some of it even into the umbrella!
For a golden colour, just turn the in-camera white balance up to 10000K, though that will warm up the whole image, not just from the QuadLite. Or adjust in post processing.

Hmm... I know that that's an oblique reference to the lack of a reflector
But I saw a couple being used by a pro video crew last week, one with the supplied softbox and one with an umbrella and all the light went exactly where it was wanted.
