Cell Phone for Emergency Flashlight

As I was stumbling through the dark looking for the first light switch on my way through the house, I realized that my cell phone was still lit. It was amazing how helpful that little thing was in providing just enough light. A couple of night's later, my husband walked into the bedroom and said, "You know, I just discovered that my cell phone makes a great emergency source of light."

Since we both happened on the idea by accident and recognized its usefulness, I thought maybe others might appreciate this tip. I can also see how it would come in handy to light up the door locks on houses and cars that don't have a light which comes on automatically.
