Abstract

A flash lamp is retained in a mounting location by means of a resilient conductive member, said member serving also as the means for applying a triggering pulse to initiate the lamp discharge. In one embodiment, the electrode has a T-shaped configuration with the top of the T serving as the medium for applying the triggering pulse along the length of the lamp.
