[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 383375, member: 12496"] One problem is that the light output intensity of an incandescent bulb is about proportional to the cube of the voltage. I'm not sure of the exact math, but when you turn one down to be proportional to a 1/8 power flash, a 150 watt bulb doesn't have much left. Maybe it is still proportional, but it's hard to see it. :) Fortunately, digital lets us just snap a test shot, and look at it. [/QUOTE]
