Thinking about how I'd approach this as an in-hospital room thing. The look I'd want would probably be a tungsten light in a china ball. But that would be a pain to pull off (hanging ball with a hot light).

I'd go with my LED light (aputure 672) and some sort of easy softbox rig (they make them for the aputure, I keep thinking I'll just make one from that corrugated black plastic sign material and some ripstop, easy to make something that would collapse). Get someone to hold it or bring one stand. I generally don't think of that as a key light, but it does kick out some lumens on battery power.
