Abstract
A reference surface is provided on the housing of a flash illumination apparatus for allowing accurate positioning of a flash tube relative to a predetermined length of a flash reflector. This reference surface is spaced from the adjacent end of the predetermined reflector length so that positioning of one tube end and the reference surface against an appropriate aligning surface accurately centers the tube relative to the reflecting surface. Moreover, either the housing or a reflector main body has structure for cooperating with separate end members of a multi-component reflector for preventing the end members from being assembled so that the reflecting surfaces thereof do not face each other.
