Abstract
A device for controlling the surge of electrical current demanded following the discharge of a lighting system comprised of multiple electronic flash units powered from a common source. Individual electronic flash units are re-charged sequentially by the invention after system discharge, thus limiting the current demand to approximately the level produced by a single strobe light apparatus. The power management device for large electronic flash units can be integrated into the circuits of a strobe light apparatus, a generator, inverter or battery pack itself, or it can be configured as a self-contained accessory device.
