Technically this is pretty easy. As the BlackBerry Pearl (this example) comes with a bright screen – like all BlackBerry devices – you can also use it as a flash light.

There are a bunch of flashlight / torch applications out there and you can choose one of them. I guess there is no big difference. The really cool thing is, you can use your BlackBerry’s convenience key to link a key directly to your flashlight application. Lern more on your convenience / soft key setting HERE.
Flashlight Pro for BlackBerry
I am using for this:

So if I am in the dark and am looking for the lock to put my key in – I just click the softkey on my BlackBerry, the flashlight switches on, and I can see what I am doing! Easy, huh? :)

    You can also turn on the light used for video recording

    The only problem with launching the video camera manually is that the light will go off when your back light turns off. I keep my back light timeout short to conserve battery life. This great flashlight app will launch the video camera from a unique icon and keep the light on forever. Here is the link :
