As Robert said, you do not need to be as accurate as when yiu shoot JPEG or Rec709 Video, but you should get coor balance as close as possible to make grading easier, and get as clean looking footage as possible.
I find 4500K gets my Micro Cinema sensor close with mixed light, and open shade, going to 5500K for bright sun and 3200-3800 for most indoor incandescent lighting. LEDs are another world all together, and you should measure them.
I found a nice easy IPone application that turns the phone into a color temp meter that is close enough to get a close color balance, iMonAd, and LuxMeter Plus also gives color balance as well and light brightness measure in Lux. It also adds a RGB parade display, very useful little tool.
Cheers
