Abstract

Series and shunt flashlamp triggering arrangements are disclosed wherein an electrically conductive patch is intimately bonded to a portion of the outer lateral surface of the flashlamp housing extending over a portion of the high voltage electrode and terminating at a longitudinal location along the housing substantially aligned with the inner end of the high voltage electrode. An electrically conductive wire connected to the patch extends along the outer lateral surface of the housing from the patch to at least the vicinity of the other electrode. The high voltage electrode defines a sharp-edged annular rim projecting outwardly from its lateral surface adjacent its inner end.
