There are several phones right now with built-in flashlights. I hope the feature becomes more and more common. However, I don't know any add-on battery packs for existing phones, with a light built into the pack. Sounds like a market opportunity!

I've seen battery packs with enough flashing LEDs on them that they look like a portable disco. There ought to be a way to trigger these into a manual "on-steady" mode so they could be used as an EDC in an emergency.

a cell phone light just doesn't seem to fit into arc's business model... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

But just think: a cell phone that's as rugged as an Arc light!

I have mentioned cell phone lights several times in the Arc forum and the main LED forum.

I know someone who was using his cell phone as an emergency flashlight during last summer's big blackout. It was a case of that or nothing. This is one of those instances where a combination battery pack / LED flashlight would have really come in handy.
Of course he should've had an EDC light on him in the first place.

There's been a few times when I've used my cell phone screen as a flashlight, because I'd left my keychain in another room (I usually set it down near the door when I come in the house). Now I have a coin cell light on my belt loop just for that situation.
