Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FlashLight LED HD at 4.4 against Light's 3.3. FlashLight LED HD also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (93% vs 79%). On price there is nothing between them.
