Kinos are great but if you are used to traditional lighting they take some getting used to

You do not have to put them closer to your subject that is nonsense you use them as you would any other diffused lighting source.

second the daylight balanced bulbs tend to be a bit cool, I prefer warmer lighting so tweaking the color balance or applying a warming gel may produce better results for you

and finally it is a flat type of light, and that takes some getting used to, but as far as it goes the benefits FAR outweigh the the few disadvantages, the biggest benefit is that they run very very cool, they wont heat up your room. and they last a very long time.
