I'm trying to build a "one flash strobe light." It's basically a box that has a very bright light at the top and when you press a button, it turns on for a spit second. I'm trying to do this with a digital camera flash bulb. This way it's like taking a flash picture without the picture part.
I think I have (most) of the parts:
Digital camera flash bulb in flash holder
2 Capacitors (330v, 180μF and 330v, 80μF)
2 AA batteries (the same amount that powered the camera in the first place)
A bunch of wires
I only need:
A button and
Anything that I haven't thought of but need.
I have two problems:
I'm not sure which capacitor to use and
I don't know how to put together the circuit.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
