Abstract

A high-voltage type photoflash lamp having an ignition structure comprising a mass of primer material bridging a pair of lead-in wires. An insulating sleeve encloses one of the lead-in wires and a fine conductor wire is attached to and projects from the unsleeved lead-in wire to assure contact with filamentary combustible material within the envelope so as to provide electrostatic protection. When mounted in a multilamp unit, each lamp is oriented with the unsleeved lead-in wire connected to a common circuit conductor.
