iLlumination US — 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.

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.

User Reviews

User reviews show a split: many users remember the app as a reliable, easy-to-use flashlight that’s useful in dark settings (reading, astronomy). However, the majority complaint centers on intrusive, frequent ads that disrupt use (full-screen ads, pop-ups, redirects). Additional issues include crashes or the app failing to launch after updates, long startup times, and significant compatibility problems with older iOS versions/devices (e.g., iPhone 4, older firmware). Overall sentiment is negative due to ad-driven monetization and instability, despite occasional reports of solid flashlight performance when it runs.
Pros
  • Works well for many users when functioning as a flashlight
  • Easy to access / simple interface
  • Useful in dark environments (reading, astronomy)
  • Was a good flashlight app that many users liked previously
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt use (full-screen ads and redirects)
  • Crashes or won’t launch after updates; instability
  • Long startup times / takes too long to open
  • Compatibility issues with older iOS versions/devices (e.g., iPhone 4, older firmware)
