Abstract
An ignition circuit is provided for extinguishing tubes in electronic flash equipment for photography. The second winding of an ignition transformer is arranged in series to the extinguishing tube. A diode is connected in parallel to the secondary winding of the ignition transformer through which the extinguishing tube current flows after ignition. The extinguishing tube does not require an ignition electrode. The ignition circuit is advantageously employed in electronic flash equipment for photography having an automatic circuitry for control of flash luminance time.
