And I certainly wouldn't have to spend a Saturday afternoon pulling up floorboards or digging to get my iPhone back (hopefully) safe and sound. Yet millions of us use our phones like regular flashlights every day in situations where we would benefit from a dedicated flashlight and not a smartphone with a flashlight function.Īfter all, I'd be unhappy if I accidentally dropped one of my favorite pen lights into the weird pseudo-crawl space under my front porch while working on my house, but I'd only be out about $15. If somebody gave you a regular flashlight that cost $1000 and was made of delicate glass, you'd certainly handle it with care and consider getting a more durable flashlight you wouldn't be worried about breaking, no? Your Apple Watch has a flashlight mode, but it also doesn't work as well as it needs to.įor those impromptu moments where you need to find something you dropped under the bed or you're looking for something in your purse in a dark car, an ultra-compact flashlight built into a device you're already carrying is amazing.īut smartphones are expensive and, relatively speaking, quite fragile. You can adjust the flashlight brightness on your phone, but that doesn't help enough. Most people have their phones on them 24/7, and the little LED flash on most smartphones, in flashlight mode, can throw about 40-50 lumens of illumination.

In the past we've strongly recommended you stop using flashlight apps on your phone. Why Stop Using Your Phone as a Flashlight?
