Claim Text:
1. A generator for a flash device comprising: at least a first capacitor bank comprising at least one capacitor of a first type, said first capacitor bank being connectable to a charger via a first switch; said first capacitor bank being further connected to an output via a first component which only allows current flow from the first capacitor bank to the output; at least a second capacitor bank comprising at least one capacitor of a second type connectable to said charger via a second switch; said second capacitor bank being further connected to the output via a second component which only allows current flow from the second capacitor bank to the output; wherein said generator is configured to individually control said first switch and said second switch so that said first capacitor bank and said second capacitor bank can be individually charged to the same or different voltages, wherein the first capacitor bank has a first discharge characteristics and the second capacitor bank has a second discharge characteristics, wherein the first discharge characteristics is different from the second discharge characteristics; a flash trigger switch connected to a trigger output for providing a trigger voltage to a flash device connectable to the generator.
