Guide Numbers
Tungsten film speed (reference). 10-16 20-32 40-64 80-125 160-200 320-500
Up to 1/25th & 1/30th 200 280 400 550 800 1150

To find f-stop, divide guide number by distance infeet between flashbulb and subject.
To find f-stop, divide guide number by distance infeet between flashbulb and subject.

(Example: with film speed 40, guide number is 220 at a shutter speed of 1/125 sec., distance 10ft lens setting:  220 / 10 is f/22)

The above table is computed for 7-inch reflector. If a large studio tyoe reflector is used, stop down 1/2 to 1 f-stops.

Read safety warnings printed on packaging. Avoid static.

Numerical data is typical.
