Light Control for S60 3rd ed
Keyboard and screen Backlight Manager
 Light Control is the freeware keyboard and display backlight manager for Symbian S60 3rd edition devices. It will enable your keyboard and screen backlight to turn on automatically during the night hours or to stay turned off during the daylight period when you don't need the backlights.
Obviously, the main purpose of this feature is to preserve the battery, extend its lifetime and save you from annoying backlights flashing caused by the interior light sensor, which is by the way a more than welcome addition as it determines when the backlight is needed and turns it on accordingly.
So if you would like to override the system sensor and default backlight settings while you are reading the long text documents or if you need something to force the phone to keep the backlight off Light Control is right solution.
It is the simple but yet powerful solution with lot of handy features that will cost you nothing after all so you should at least give it a try and you will benefit by having the best balance between the battery usage and user experience.
This application totally configurable and it has an option to separately control the screen backlight, main and the secondary keyboard. It is also possible to setup screen brightness, light timeout and you can define a time period during which you don't want the keyboard backlights to be turned on or off.
