Six months - used equipment that tests to specs
The No. 5B flash bulb was one of the most popular flash bulbs in use by both amateur and professional photographers early in the 20th century. They are known for reliability and high output with a peak brightness of approximately 830,000 lumens. They have a standard 20ms time to peak and are a powerful flash bulb for cameras using M-synchronization.
Because clear bulbs were designed for use with black and white films, the "B" style bulbs such as the 5B were designed with a blue coating to assist in color correction when using flash with color films. Because of this coating, these bulbs may operate with 1/2 to 1 stop less light output as their clear counterparts.
This listing is for a single no. 5B bayonet style One-time use flash bulb.
