What is Flashlight?

Flashlight turns your device into a bright light source. Uses the camera torch on supported devices, or displays a full-screen white light as a fallback. Adjustable brightness and color temperature for different situations.

On phones that let this page control the camera flash, the tool turns it on as a real torch. If torch control isn't available, the screen falls back to a bright light panel. Eight one-tap color presets — cool white, warm white, red, blue, green, purple, orange, and pink — plus a full custom color picker and a brightness slider let you tune the light for anything from night reading to mood lighting. A Morse mode even flashes a short message you type as Morse code.

How to use

1. Tap the power button to turn the flashlight on — it uses your device's camera torch if available.
2. Adjust the brightness slider to control light intensity from dim to maximum.
3. Switch between torch mode and screen mode, or change the light color for different needs.

When to use

• Finding dropped keys or wiring in a dark spot when your phone is the closest light.
• Reading a menu or book in low light without blinding the rest of the room.
• Preserving night vision with red light while camping or stargazing.

Result

Tap the flashlight on to find your keys in a dark room, then dim it to 50% brightness for reading at night.

FAQ

Why doesn't the camera torch turn on for me?

Whether a page can flip on the camera flash depends on your phone and its software. iOS Safari and most laptops simply don't allow it, so the tool falls back to a full white screen at maximum brightness instead.

Will the screen light drain my battery quickly?

A full-white screen at 100% brightness draws noticeably more power than a dimmed display, but on a modern phone it's still hours of light from a normal charge. Drop brightness to 50% if you want to stretch it.

What is the red light good for?

Red light has the least effect on dark-adapted eyes, so astronomers and hikers use it to read maps or charts without losing night vision. It also disturbs sleeping partners less when you need a glance at the time.

Does the tool record video or take photos when I allow camera access?

No. The camera is requested only so the tool can reach the rear video track and switch on its torch flag. No frames are captured, encoded, or sent anywhere, and the stream closes the instant the light goes off.

Can I leave the light on while the screen is locked?

While the light is on, the tool now requests a screen wake lock so the display won't dim or sleep on its own. Manually locking the phone is different — that releases the lock and shuts the light off, so for lit-up-while-locked use your device's built-in torch button instead.
