Flashlight iPhone App

[TroyS]

I've been using the app for a while. It really comes in handy, but it drains the battery of the phone quite fast for me. I'd still go with the usual LED candles too for camping, personally, since I may need my phone in case of emergencies.

It most certainly does, hummingbird. Downloaded it as well, and really helpful even when you're not camping.

I don't have an app, my cell phone actually has a flashlight on it. I only used it once and that was to find my real flashlight. That is a TerraLUX Infinistar. It's a rechargeable LED. It's rated at 300 lumens and gives about a quarter mile of visibility in darkness. Pretty awesome even if it did cost me $160.

The flashlight app is helpful in a pinch, but not long term. It does kill your battery.
