It has a configurable shake gesture detection that enables you to turn the flashlight on or off by shaking your device. The shake gesture detection is only active when the lock screen is active. Just press the power button when the screen is off and shake the device to turn the flashlight on or off. You don't have to unlock your device. This prevents Brilliant from draining your battery. Your battery life will hardly be affected by Brilliant. You can set the shake gesture sensitivity to a value that best suits you. You can even disable shake detection entirely from the settings. To turn the flashlight on or off by shaking the device, your device must not be asleep and the lockscreen must be active, i.e. press the power button when the screen is off but don't unclok the device. Shake detection is inactive when the device is asleep or you are using it. The shake gesture that turns the flashlight on or off is a "double tap". Sort of like a magic wand. While holding your device turn you hand so that you see the side of your phone and, from the wrist, swiftly move your hand down, up, down and then up again. Voila, it's tha easy.
