I've been searching for some lights for a while now, I really dont know mucha bout them, I have used a cheap LED panel on top of the camera, but thats not nearly strong enough for what I need. I need a compact, battery operated (preferebly round) powerfull light, mostly for weddings and stuff.

What do you guys recommend?

F&V made an interesting round spot light for on camera use (around the lens actually), but for some reason many of the retailers including B&H are not stocking its products anymore. 

Try this. This isn't too small, but very bright and pretty narrow beam angle too.

If that is too large (or out of your budget) try this one. It's tiny and quite powerful.

Try and pick up something that is exceptionally bright and turn down the brightness. You could also bounce it off ceilings or walls. And if size is not an issue pick up something seriously bright.

Check these: 

  • Lupolux Dual Color LED's (650, 1000, 2000).
  • Blind Spot Gear Scorpion Lights. 
  • Aputure Light Storm. 
  • Brightcast V-15 Flexible. 

I'd also invest in a master collection of styling and correction gels, diffusers, reflectors, bounce cards, crocodile clips, gaffa.... all very useful bits and bobs.
