Yes, I think you are ok with an LED.....
My opinion is why would you want to fight one of those?? Those were all we had when I was young and it seems you could NEVER get them lighting up the area you were trying to work on... Most of the time it seems they only wanted to shine on your face and give your eyes " red dots"...
The next progression were the tube lights that were corded.....
I have two rechargeble LED lights now that I purchased at HF.... No heat and NO blinding me and no cord to fight with....
Just remember to turn them off when you make a parts run or break for lunch....
