Well, I think flashbulbs make a softer flash, but sometimes (depending) on distance to subject, can put out way more light. They seem (to me) to be way more controllable than modern electronic flashes, which are much more powerful.

There is a website that I can't remember off the top of my head which sells them. Search for it, you can find em.

I use these big Flashbulbs at work . They make a small range of them , they are all big bulbs ( same size as a regular 100 or 150 watt light bulb with medium screw cap ) but they are very good , not cheap , but not too bad either. We use them for signalling over long distances at work ( you can see the flash. for up to 30 miles in the right circumstances ) Check out " megaflash "

Hi This is very interesting. I think you could probably get that adaptor made up by someone with a good bit of electrical / electronic knowledge and know how if you were prepared to pay a bit. I didnt know anyone still made M3 flashbulbs? I still get these when I can on e-bay , etc , but they are old stock . Did you know a company in Ireland called Megaflash still make some excellent big flashbulbs.?
