Such a side light allows the user to hold the phone in a natural position with a front or rear of the smartphone facing a user's palm, while the light on the sidewall faces forward, allowing the user to comfortably hold the smartphone and keep the wrist at a natural and comfortable position while lighting the path before them.

A portable control apparatus (100) for controlling a motion sensor (200), comprising communication means (110), display means (120) and input means (130). The communication means (110) allow wireless communication with a motion sensor (200) and are suitable for receiving a detection signal, currently generated in the motion sensor (200), from the motion sensor (200) while the control apparatus (100) is in a detection region (210) of the motion sensor (200). The display means (120) allow this detection signal to be displayed. The input means (130) allow the adjustment of a detection threshold at which a movement is detected by the motion sensor (200), on the basis of the displayed detection signal. The adjusted detection threshold is transferred to the motion sensor (200) by the communication means (110) and set there as the applicable detection threshold.
