It you put out enough light, you can diffuse it more, such as by bouncing off the ceiling or a light-colored wall. You can also use photography modifiers, like the various kinds of reflectors. Even white photo lighting umbrellas (which you shine a bright light through) help a lot. Whether or not you add diffusing, you might want to make your light source mountable on a photo studio light stand, so that you can position and aim it however you want (just like you would with a studio strobe or hotlight).
