So i've managed to make the flash to light enough so you can shoot at about 1m range. You have to take the rear-up cover away and change the matt glass of the flash with crystal one(i've cut one from a sdcard box)
Here are some pictures i hope that you can see them, if not tell me where to upload them:

1. Removing the panel(do it with plastic card or special nokia tool to prevent damage to the plastic)

2. The cover with already changed glass

I really assure you that the flash becomes as strong as k750i's for example, i can't figure out why they put a matt glass over the diod, nevermind if you don't want to put away the matt glas you can try without the panel to see how it lights...

It's just LED, not a laser ;)

yes but it irritates the eye and surely can harm it!watch it for 20-30 mins and tell us the result

Hmm.. out of topic question. I've just upgraded myself to a Wizard, and I find it great to have a flash that is like a .. torch light. However, I heard from others (mostly from other phones) that if you were to use it as a torch light for too much, it will 'burn out' (eg not as bright). Any one experienced this with a Wizard? Or anyone did use it for a long period of time but not much problem so far?

I guess your light will die before you get any health problems.
