Frequently Asked Questions

How bright is the screen flashlight compared to a real flashlight?

The screen flashlight provides good illumination for close-range tasks like reading or finding items in dark spaces. However, it's not as bright or focused as a traditional LED flashlight and has limited range. It's best suited for indoor use and short-distance illumination.

Will using the screen flashlight drain my battery quickly?

Yes, screen flashlights consume more battery than regular flashlight apps because they keep the screen at maximum brightness. For extended use, consider using a traditional flashlight or keeping your device plugged in. The tool includes brightness controls to help manage battery usage.

Can I use the screen flashlight in fullscreen mode?

Yes, the tool includes a fullscreen mode that maximizes the screen area for illumination. Click the "Fullscreen" button when the flashlight is active to enter fullscreen mode. Press ESC or click "Exit Fullscreen" to return to normal view.

What's the difference between the color options?

Different colors serve different purposes: White provides the brightest, most neutral light; Yellow is warmer and easier on the eyes; Blue is cool and good for reading; Red preserves night vision; Green is good for outdoor use; and Purple, Orange, and Pink offer aesthetic options for specific needs.

Is it safe to use the screen flashlight for extended periods?

While the tool is safe for normal use, extended exposure to bright screens can cause eye strain. Take breaks every 15-20 minutes, avoid looking directly at the screen, and use lower brightness settings when possible. The tool includes safety guidelines to help you use it responsibly.

Can I use this tool on any device?

The screen flashlight works on any device with a web browser that supports modern JavaScript and CSS. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. The fullscreen feature requires a browser that supports the HTML5 Fullscreen API.
