Hi all,
Does anyone out there have no-fire/all-fire characterization data for flash
bulbs, specifically AG1/AG1b?
I am trying to improve my launch controller design to be "flash bulb safe"
but solid data on the above is proving elusive.
I found one mention on the web that "5 mA" is flash bulb safe, but when I
did my own test it took around 220 mA to fire, so I suspect the 5 mA is way
too conservative. OTOH, I don't know what the manufacturing variabilities
are. I'd rather not burn up my stock of bulbs to find out if the data is
already available somewhere.
TIA
