15 Volt Battery for flash bulbs

[Brian Walters]

Thanks for the info

Yes I do have a couple of old fan-fold flashguns that I'd like to try, as well as a small flashcube gun.

I'm not sure I want to test them badly enough rig up something special but I'll have a look at some of the lower voltage options if I can't locate the 15 V Eveready mentioned by Otis.


Cheers

Brian
