You can see the Nova is connected via an icon in the lower right of the app. You can test the flash here, but the easiest thing to do is just take a photo by hitting the shutter button. The Nova flash will fire instead of the iPhone&#8217;s built-in flash, giving you a much better looking photo.\u00a0You can adjust the warmth and intensity of the flash to suit your conditions within the app, including settings for gentle, warm, neutral, bright or custom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nova-bluetooth-iphone-flash-49345\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/49345\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Nova Bluetooth iPhone Flash\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nova-bluetooth-iphone-flash-49345\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/49345\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Nova Bluetooth iPhone Flash\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Nova Bluetooth iPhone Flash is constructed from 40 warm and cool LEDs, which allow it to be adjusted to suit different lighting situations. The flash unit is the size of a credit card, so you can slip it in your wallet or in your pocket without issues. As the connection is done over Bluetooth, there&#8217;s no messy setup process either &#8211; just a helpful flash whenever you need it. It&#8217;s actually a lot of fun to try out different settings and positions to get a good result, and once you&#8217;ve gotten the hang of it you&#8217;ll amazed at the quality of photos you can produce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nova-bluetooth-iphone-flash-49345\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/49345\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Nova Bluetooth iPhone Flash\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nova-bluetooth-iphone-flash-49345\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/49345\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Nova Bluetooth iPhone Flash\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We gave the Nova Flash a spin, and it really works. You get a strong burst of light, warm or cold as per your settings, which is much more natural looking than the tiny unit that&#8217;s built into the iPhone 6 Plus. You do need to try different positions and angles to get the best look, but right from the start you get better results, particularly in low-light situations where you&#8217;d normally be faced with either terrible flash tones or incredibly grainy flash-free shots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nova-bluetooth-iphone-flash-49345\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"flash-without-with\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/flash-without-with.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"710\" height=\"472\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Left: with built-in flash.

The case is even stronger for older iPhone models,\u00a0which have worse flash units and consequently much worse low-light photography without a flash replacement like the Nova.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the Nova Flash?
