I don't either. (Low light is what tripods are for.) Funny story: briefly,
in the 1980s, I worked as a studio assistant for a successful commercial
photographer in Washington, D.C. He told a story about a friend coming up to
him at a party and asking for advice about what flash unit to get. He had to
answer that he didn't own an on-camera flash and knew nothing at all about
them. His friend was incredulous and indignant--he couldn't believe that a
professional photographer knew nothing about flashes!

Of course, my boss had more than $50,000 worth of lighting equipment at the
studio, mostly Speedotron Black Line and Matthews light-shaping equipment.
But the smallest thing he used on location were 1200 w/s monoblocs.
