How Bright Is a Dual LED Flash?

by

image For those of you who haven’t played around with the HD2 the flash is pretty crazy on it. There are two LED lights on the back next to the lens. There’s a flashlight app on the phone that lets you turn on the LEDs and use them as a flashlight and it toggles from low, medium and high.

So I decided to put it the test for you guys. Nighttime with all lights off and no substantial ambient light (just what makes it through the windows and into a kitchen).
