What drives the light
Music-reactive lighting can use microphone input or audio that an app is already playing. MP95 uses its own playback signal for Room Light. This avoids needing microphone input for the effect; it does not prove the light has zero latency or establish a safety rating.
How Room Light behaves
Room Light varies the torch level with the music rather than presenting a simple full-on/full-off switch. A nonzero minimum brightness is a design choice, not a guarantee that changing light is safe for every viewer.
How to use it
- Use a supported device with a torch and start a track in MP95.
- Open the flashlight control and read the warning before enabling it.
- Check that everyone nearby is comfortable with changing light.
- Keep the device ventilated and stop if it becomes hot or the light is uncomfortable.
Device capability, app state and temperature can stop the effect. Do not depend on it as a safety light or assume a particular session duration across versions.
Before using changing light
Changing or flashing light can be a trigger for people with photosensitivity. Frequency, brightness and contrast all matter; keeping the LED above zero does not remove every risk. The Epilepsy Foundation describes these factors.
If you or someone nearby is sensitive to flashing or changing light, leave Room Light off. Stop immediately if anyone feels uncomfortable.
On iPad
The button only appears on devices that have a flash. iPads without one do not show it.
Frequently asked questions
Can the iPhone flashlight flash to music?
Yes, with an app that drives the torch. MP95 Room Light drives it from the bass of the track you are playing, as a breathing lamp rather than a strobe.
Is it bad for the phone?
The torch consumes power and produces heat. Device or app protections may stop it. Keep the phone ventilated, follow the in-app warning and stop if the device becomes hot.
Does it use the microphone?
Room Light follows audio played by MP95 rather than microphone input. It can therefore respond while that audio is playing through headphones.
