Various front light accessories are disclosed that may be used with or coupled to an electronic device to provide light to an outward surface of a reflective light display. A front light accessory may include a light sensor to measure an intensity of ambient light and then control an amount of light emitted by the front lights based on the measured ambient light. In some instances, the front light accessories may share resources such as hardware and software from the electronic device to control an amount of light emitted from the front lights, to provide power to the front lights, and/or for other reasons.
