Power Outage Ideas: How Colored Phone Light Makes Your Evening Cozy Again
Short answer: Looking for power outage ideas for a dark evening? First, check and follow official info from your grid operator or city. Then, for the mood: stick a Flashy from Sunset Lights on your phone flashlight and aim the light at a light wall or ceiling. The room instantly feels warm and cozy. Never shine it into anyone's eyes.
Why colored light changes the mood during a power outage
When every lamp is off, you lose more than light – you lose atmosphere. A Flashy is a 7 mm color filter for your phone flashlight, with no app and no pairing, and it fits all smartphones. It's mood lighting – that's all we promise. For practical things like finding stuff, white light is more practical. For the cozy hour afterwards, color is nicer.
How to stick it on:
- Clean the LED
- Peel the Flashy off the carrier card
- Stick it on the center of the LED
- Flashlight on
What to do during a power outage: 6 cozy ideas
1. Warm wall light in Royal Gold
Lay your phone flat on the table and aim the light at a light wall. Royal Gold or Solar Orange make the room soft and warm right away.
2. Story night with friends or roommates
Sit together and swap stories – best trip, most embarrassing moment, wildest festival memory. Colored light on the ceiling makes the round feel cozy.
3. Board or card games in colored light
A card game doesn't need power. One phone with a Flashy aimed at the ceiling, and the round can start.
4. Enjoy the quiet
No TV, no fridge hum. Mystic Violet or Sky Breeze (turquoise) from Fairy Lights fit a calm, dreamy mood.
5. Get creative, analog
Sketchbook, notes, poems – with colored light on the wall, you get a small creative corner.
6. One color per person
With a group, everyone brings their own color to the wall. One Friends Pack (5 Flashys in one color) covers five of you.
Important: Keep your phone uncovered. Never shine the light into anyone's eyes. Small parts (7 mm): adults stick the Flashys on and keep them out of reach of small children. You can reuse a Flashy a few times if you peel it off carefully and stick it onto a dust-free surface.
