Contrary to what many believe, flashbulbs are still being manufactured today! The flashbulb is now being put to many diverse uses: large / medium format photography; caving; high speed photography in destructive testing; explosion research; vehicle testing; aircraft engine testing; turbine testing and stage and film production, to name but a few.

Many of the well known flashbulbs such as the Sylvania Press 25, GE #5, GE#11 and Sylvania Press 40 are no longer being manufactured. However, stocks of these bulbs can still be sourced through dedicated specialist suppliers such as Cress Photo and others. There are many excellent websites out there publishing facts and resource information about the numerous different types of flashbulbs manufactured since the 1930's. Some of these sites include: Cress Photo www.flashbulbs.com; Underground Photographer; David L. Brittain's Flashbulb Collection; and Graflex .

If you want to see what flashbulbs can do to enhance photography, have a look at some of the excellent caving sites. (Click into our links page). These caving sites not only give useful info on the practical use of flashbulbs, they also show some of the most spectacular shots ever taken with flashbulbs. (see our gallery page).

Meggaflash flashbulbs have been used for special effects and period effects in many film and theatre productions such as the "Ali" movie and "Phantom of the Opera".

For it's relatively small size, the humble flashbulb carries more light output power than many other portable light source! Awesome!
