# Glowlight

Glowlight turns your Peko Pal into a gentle handheld glow, not quite a flashlight. The moment your child opens it, the lights come on. From there they can make it brighter or dimmer, flip through seven light modes, and switch the light off and on again.

The seven modes are Normal (bright white), Candle (a warm, flickering glow), Night (a soft red light), Lightning (dark, with sudden flashes), Police (alternating red and blue), Rainbow (cycling colors) and Twinkle (sparkling lights).

## The buttons

| Button | What it does |
|--------|--------------|
| Action button (press) | Turns the light off. Press again to turn it back on with the same mode and brightness. |
| Action button (hold or double-press) | Not used in this app |
| Direction pad up | Brighter, in steps of 10% (up to 100%) |
| Direction pad down | Dimmer, in steps of 10% (down to 10%) |
| Direction pad left | Previous light mode |
| Direction pad right | Next light mode |
| Volume buttons | No effect here, because Glowlight makes no sound |
| Power button | A quick press leaves Glowlight and returns to the main menu (see [Getting around your Peko Pal](https://www.pekopal.com/guide/navigation)) |

The modes go around in a loop, so left from Normal goes to Twinkle, and right from Twinkle goes back to Normal.

## What you'll hear and see

Glowlight is silent. It does not speak or play sounds. The Peko Pal's lights are the glow itself, and they run at full strength while the app is open. When your child leaves the app, the lights go back to how they were before.

## Settings in the Peko Pal app

Glowlight has no settings in the Peko Pal app. The device remembers the last mode and brightness your child used and starts there next time.

## Tips

- Use Night mode in a dark room. Red light is gentler on the eyes.
- Candle is a good bedtime glow, especially turned down low.
- Turning the light off with the action button keeps the mode and brightness, so it comes back just as it was.
- Bright flashing modes like Lightning and Police may not suit children who are sensitive to flashing lights.

## Good to know

- Glowlight works completely offline. It does not use Wi-Fi, a microphone or the AI, and nothing is sent anywhere.
- Leaving the light on drains the battery faster than most apps.
