LEDs emit very little UV or IR which is what damages illuminated subjects. The safe illumination distance on the most powerful LED film lights from Arri is only about 3ft, which is only double the safe distance for heat around the entire housing. (This is based on 8hr continuous illumination).
By comparison for a similar output Tungsten head you're looking at distances of 3m and for HMI heads as much as 8m.
These are high end motion picture lamps so it's possible they have better spectrum control than Apurture lamps, but they're also emitting substantially more light so I can't see something like a 600D being an issue as far as IR or UV emission.
So unless your "small dark space" is literally the size of a wardrobe LED heads should pose no heat risk to your subject.
Flip up screen? I'm confused are you complaining about the EVF or the rear LCD?
The biggest choke point for any sort of media editing is the hard drive. What's your drive setup for your catalog and photos?
Vallerret is an entire company dedicated explicitly to what you've described. They only make photography gloves.
