Abstract

A flash lamp, a flash lamp control method and a mobile device are described. The flash lamp includes a light-emitting device and an electrochromic module disposed on the light-emitting device. A color of the electrochromic module is different under different operating voltages, such that a color temperature of light is different, the light being emitted by the light-emitting device and passing through the electrochromic module.
