battery powered flood light for photographing grave stones

I am photographing old grave stones. Often I am at the mercy of where
the sun is. And sometimes I need to work with shadows to bring out the
faded, worn inscriptions.

I'm thinking a battery powered flood light would be a great help. I'm
new to the practice of subject lighting. What would knowledgeable
people here suggest for technique and products?

Sometimes spraying the stone with water helps. And although there are
pros and cons, chalking them is another technique (which I try not to
use). Tracings are another. But I'm looking to do the best with
lighting itself.

Thanks!
