    Default Camera Flash

    Anyone know if it would be possible to swap out the flash strobe on my kodak C713 for a lux 3 or seoul p4?

    Umm, yeah... What are you trying to do, and why?

    I'd say it's a definite no. Flashes use a huge capacitor to fire a high voltage arc through a glass tube filled with a special gas. I don't know the exact specs for a flash off the top of my head, but I think it's thousands of volts. There's no way on earth that an led would withstand that.

    yeah i agree with obi-dar. it would be a complete waste of time, effort and resources.

    I doubt very seriously a Lux 3 or Seaol P4 would (or could) work for a camera flash.

    Considering that a XENON plash puts out a tremendous amount of light compared to a lux anything,,it would be a waste.
