Can you use the flash from the camera as a flashlight?

There is an app in market place called Mototorch that does use the flash as a flashlight and also a strobe light.

Also it has Morse code just in case you ever take a three hour tour and get stranded on an island.

Mototorch free app

I have the mototorch one, and it works great.
I setup the widget for it too so I do not have to open the app up and choose either regular flashlight, strobe, or the morse code option.

The widget lets you just tap it and turn on the light.

I use Droid light, I don't remember why I picked it but it was free and helped me find one of those little metal dowels that hold up a cabinet shelf the other day. Came in handy.

I use LED Flashlight, works like a champ.

Just wondering if you can use the flash when not taking pictures?

I have this and it works fine. Manages the camera LED.

It has been significantly improved (can now send Morse Code, fwiw ;-) with updates. No problems at all on the Droid though some have complained about the display blanking. Imho, turning off the display makes it easier to use as a flashlight. Definitely helps illumnate dark corners when trying to plug peripherals into a system under a desk.

I don't know if this is what you looking for, but I have the app DroidLight by Motorola. It uses the camera flash as a flashlight and the screen displays a light bulb. You just touch the light bulb to turn the LED off and on.

It is way cool. I use it to guide me to the bathroom instead of turning on my regular lights.

No one mentions motor torch until 2 pages into this thread? Wow that was the first app that came to mind. I have it and love it. I use the Morse code feature to text iPhone is gay haha
