Flash powder is sensitive to shock, friction etc but is quite hard to light, think it needs to reach 400-600 degrees depending on the type of it, but once lit it reaches well in excess of 2000 degrees so the flame spreads really quickly.
It will light with visco, blackmatch and other 'sparky' fuses, but will not light instantly even with a candle flame (assuming you're using pot.perchlorate / dark flake 70:30 mix). Other flashes such as chlorate are far easier to ignite but more sensitive.
yeh it lights up with a flame from lighter straight away its KClO4, MgAl 50/50 and yeh i think the lead takes ages to heat up and needs alot of heat to set it off thanks for the info
