BTW, you can get LEDs that are designed specifically for flash applications. They can handle high peak currents, have decent color spectra, and/or fast rise/fall times. There are also LED driver chips made for flash applications.

Hi Mark, Yes, I am certain that you can, but they are designed for use in cell phone cameras, and other small digital cameras. Their primary purpose is to make a blindingly bright burst of white light to allow the camera to see. If they are a little slow to start up, and have an illumination hang at the end, the camera won't care in the slightest... kind of like the old magnesium flash bulbs. I don't expect that they would make a suitable substitute for an EG&G strobe lamp. -Chuck Harris Mark Sims wrote: > BTW, you can get LEDs that are designed specifically for flash applications. > They can handle high peak currents, have decent color spectra, and/or fast > rise/fall times.
