Underground Photographer Flashbulb Datasheet

 Up.gif (156 bytes) 

bulb.gif (1415 bytes) Click on a bulb type to see a picture of the bulb and more detailed information about that bulb.
bulb.gif (1415 bytes) Guide numbers for open flash (at 100asa) and lumen/sec figures are from manufacturers information, and in the case of older bulbs can prove wildly optimistic.
bulb.gif (1415 bytes) If you have any info on other bulbs, or updates to any of the info here, please email me.
I am particularly looking for examples of those bulbs with a grey background in the datasheet, or any bulbs not listed below.
