osu! Flashlight PP Calculator

Flashlight (FL) is the most mechanically demanding mod in osu! and matches Double Time's multiplier at 1.12×. With FL active, only a small circular area around your cursor is visible — everything else is blacked out. As your combo grows, the visible area shrinks further, making long FCs increasingly challenging. FL separates recreational osu! players from those with deep map memorization skills.

How Flashlight Works

Flashlight restricts your visible playfield to a dark, circular region that follows your cursor. At the start of a play, the circle is relatively large. At 100 combo, it shrinks noticeably. At 200 combo, it shrinks again. This progressive restriction means that for long maps, you are essentially playing blind by the final sections.

Hit circles outside the visible area are still present and must be clicked at the correct time — you simply cannot see them. This demands either complete map memorization or an extremely strong sense of rhythm that allows you to anticipate where circles will be without visual confirmation.

FL's PP values are comparable to other mods with a 1.12× multiplier, but achieving these values in practice requires substantially more preparation time per map.

A Realistic Approach to Flashlight

Flashlight is not a mod you pick up and immediately farm with. The investment required for each map is significantly higher than other mods. Here is how players approach it effectively:

For most players below the top 20,000 rank, the time investment per map for Flashlight makes it PP-inefficient compared to developing DT or HDDT skills. FL is excellent for challenges and variety, but HDDT gives better PP-per-practice-hour for most players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Flashlight worth farming for PP?
For players outside the top 10,000, FL is generally not the most efficient PP investment. The memorization time per map is high, and DT gives the same 1.12× multiplier with more broadly applicable skill development. However, if you enjoy FL and want it as part of your game, it absolutely contributes to your total PP normally.
Does the Flashlight area grow back if you break combo?
Yes. If you miss and your combo resets, the visible area size resets to the baseline for your new combo count. This provides a small mercy — a miss early in the map does not permanently leave you in the smallest visible area for the rest of the play.
Can Flashlight be combined with Double Time?
Yes. FL+DT is one of the hardest mod combinations in osu!, requiring full memorization at 1.5× speed. The multiplier would be 1.12 × 1.12 = 1.2544×. Very few players regularly use this combination for PP farming due to the extreme preparation required.
