TomB_tx Posted July 12, 2014 Share #21 Posted July 12, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Flashbulbs are filled with oxygen, not air which is mostly nitrogen. Does that make a difference? Yes - sometimes you would get a bulb with a bad seal so that it contained air instead. These would just weakly fizzle instead of flash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted July 12, 2014 Share #22 Posted July 12, 2014 Yes - sometimes you would get a bulb with a bad seal so that it contained air instead. These would just weakly fizzle instead of flash. Quite true! However in my experience it rarely happens. It is a testimony to the high quality of American manufactures QC. I am suspended in a kind of limbo as to where my cases of flashbulbs should go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
