Flashtubes are light sources with high power density. Therefore they are only made of high-temperature materials. All flashtubes consist of a tube made of hard glass or quartz glass with electrodes (anode/cathode) sealed in at each end.

In addition to linear glass tubes, various other shapes, such as U, ring and helix-shape are also available. When connecting flashtubes, polarity must be observed.

Almost all flashtubes are equipped with a capacitive trigger electrode. For example, a wire wrapped around the tube, a silver strip or transparent conductive coating on the outside of the glass. Leads on electrodes can be supplied with solid or flexible lead wires per our standards or customer specifications. Some types of tubes are also supplied with bases and protective covers.

电子闪光灯是用于脉冲操作的气体排放装置。氙是大多数应用的填充气体。必威平台怎么样闪光持续时间通常在10升至10ms之间。对于频道和信标操作，放电是周期性地，通常在更长的时间内产生的。在大多数情况下，频闪频率范围在1Hz至几kHz之间。较高的频率需要特殊的FlashTubes和/或电路。
