Abstract
A compact photoflash unit is provided for arranging more lamps in a given volume while maintaining performance requirements. Two parallel columns of horizontally disposed lamps are mounted in a planar array with the lamps of one column staggered with respect to the other with the bases interdigitated. A multiple reflector system for the lamps comprises a pair of adjacent strip-like reflector panels each having a column of side-by-side reflector cavities aligned with an associated column of lamps, the cavities of one panel being staggered with respect to the cavities of the other. Each panel is fore-shortened with respect to its associated lamps and covers the lead-in wires and bases of the lamps associated with the adjacent panel.
