The end of an era Time had passed. The idea of seeing any one fully lighted room in Camps had not entirely faded away. I just realized if I wanted to light the thing up, I must get more powerful bulbs and the bulb guns to fire them. Like most cave photographers I hoard flashbulbs of all types. In my quest for flashbulbs, some are very unique and have become collectors items.
Flash bulbs have out lived their usefulness in today s society.
They were surpassed by modern electronic flashes that are significantly less powerful but re-usable. There is one company in Ireland that manufactures flashbulbs for modern day use. Meggaflash Technologies makes bulbs for high speed filming. They are expensive and can only be purchased by the case. The smallest flashbulb ever made has more light output than the most powerful portable battery flash thought about.
