## What is iLlumination?

iLlumination — The Classic Flashlight, Reborn

The flashlight app thousands relied on is back — rebuilt from the ground up for modern iPhone. Same simple idea, a completely new design, and every feature refined for today's devices.

Why fumble in the dark? iLlumination turns your iPhone's LED flash — or its screen — into a fast, reliable light, with proper controls for the moments you actually need them.

Lighting modes
• Flashlight — instant, ultra-bright steady light.
• Tap mode — press and hold to shine, release to stop. The fastest way to signal.
• Strobe — rhythmic flashing with selectable speeds, from slow to ultra-fast.
• Morse code — type any message and flash it with correctly timed pulses, with a built-in SOS and loop.

Choose your light source
Use the LED flash, the Screen, or Dual (both at once) in any mode — pick a default in Settings.

Built for control
• Brightness — fine-tune the LED level and screen brightness with a slider, or swipe on the screen light to dim it on the fly.
• Color picker — eight screen-light colors (white, warm, amber, red, green, blue, violet, pink). Remembers your last choice.
• Screen lock — dim the screen and lock it so a stray tap never kills your light. Double-tap to unlock.
• Auto-on — switch the light on the instant the app launches.
• Dark, Light & Auto appearance.

No ads. Just light, done properly.

Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Please use with care.

Note: Sustained use of the LED flash will drain your battery faster.

I'm always improving iLlumination and I genuinely read every message. For bug reports, feature ideas, or to help translate the app into your language, email me: iphone@erikstorli.net.

### 1/5 — Don't Buy—Out of Date

*2021-06-13*

This ap no longer works on an updated iPhone.  I asked for a refund.

### 1/5 — Does it work with latest iOS version on iPhone

*2021-06-05*

Illumination worked until about a month ago. Now I get an error message that says the developer needs to modifythe app to work with the latest version of iPhone operating system

### 5/5 — Very handy :)

*2013-03-07*

It is easy to use and very handy.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-02-28*

Very useful and reliable app.  Ive tried a lot of flashlight apps but this will always be my goto light-source for everything from fixing a computer to walking through my house in the middle of the night.  Always starts up instantly and never crashes!  Good job developer(s)!

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2013-02-21, version 2.0*

Great app! Comes in handy around the house often! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best light app

*2013-01-13*

;)

### 3/5 — Decent

*2012-12-14, version 1.9*

It's all right for what it is but it isn't the best, you have to leave the app open for it to work and if you touch anything the light goes off

### 5/5 — 

*2012-11-19, version 1.9*

The best of the best of the best

### 5/5 — this app is great

*2012-09-26*

It's very useful and it would the best if there was a way to be able to change how fast the strobe light goes while its on like with a knob or something. It would also be great if you can have the light on and use another app with it on at the same time

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2012-09-10, version 1.7*

Works great every time. Dependable app.
