Product and use

What is a Flashy?

A Flashy is a stick-on color filter for your smartphone's flash LED. It turns the white light of your phone flashlight into colored light. A Flashy measures 7 mm and has two layers: a color layer and a grip layer.

Will a Flashy fit my phone?

Yes. Flashy fits every smartphone, whether iPhone, Samsung, Pixel or any other model. If your phone has a large LED ring (about 3 cm) or several LEDs side by side, stick on several Flashys; every pack contains several filters.

How do I stick a Flashy on?

In four steps: 1. Clean the flash LED on the back of your phone. 2. Peel a Flashy off the carrier card. 3. Stick it on the center of the LED, not on the camera lens. 4. Turn on the flashlight.

Do I need an app or a battery?

No. A Flashy is a purely physical color filter: no app, no battery, no pairing. Flashlight on, done.

Can't I just change the flashlight color in my settings?

No. The flash LED on iPhone and Android always shines white, and no app can change its color. You only get colored light with a filter in front of the LED. All options compared: How to change your phone flashlight color.

Does Flashy make the flashlight dimmer?

Yes, a little. A color filter only lets part of the light through. For mood, photos and finding your crew, that is usually enough. For finding your keys, unfiltered white is brighter.

Can I take a Flashy off again?

Yes, you can peel a Flashy off the LED at any time, for example when you want normal flash photos. While it is on the LED, your flash is colored too.

What should I keep in mind when using Flashy?

Never look straight into the LED or shine it into anyone's eyes; colored light can dazzle up close too. Flashys are small parts: keep them out of reach of small children.

How do I make my phone flashlight red?

With Flame Red. It comes in the Sunset Lights pack together with Solar Orange and Royal Gold, and as a color option in the Friends Pack.

How do I get a blue or turquoise phone flashlight?

How do I make my phone flashlight pink or purple?

With Power Pink for pink and Mystic Violet for purple. Both come in the Fairy Lights pack (together with Sky Breeze) and are also available as colors in the Friends Pack.

How do I make my phone flashlight orange or yellow?

With Solar Orange for orange and Royal Gold for a warm golden yellow. Both are in the Sunset Lights pack (together with Flame Red). Royal Gold is also available in the Friends Pack, Solar Orange only in Sunset Lights.

How do I get colorful, rainbow-style phone light?

Each Flashy turns one LED into one color. It gets colorful when your group uses several phones in different colors – that turns your phones into a colorful party light. For lots of colors at once, try the Mystery Light (7 different Flashys) or Sunset Lights and Fairy Lights with three colors each.

Is a Flashy a sticker or a color film?

A Flashy is a flashlight filter sticker for your phone: 7 mm across, with two layers (a color layer and an adhesive layer). It’s an easy alternative to cutting lighting gels or color film to size: peel it off the carrier card and stick it on the LED. It sticks instantly and peels off without residue.

Does a Flashy work for concerts, festivals and parties?

Yes. Colored phone light stands out in a crowd, and with the same color your group finds each other more easily. For groups there’s the Friends Pack: five Flashys in one color – one for you, four for your friends.

How do I start my own party with Flashy?

Download your favourite strobe app from the App Store or Google Play, ideally one where you can adjust the flash frequency so the light fits your space. Stick a Flashy on your flashlight LED and play music through a Bluetooth speaker. That's your own party, at home, in the park, anywhere. Important: flashing light can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy, so let your guests know first.
