Provided in the present disclosure is an arc compression-based arc-extinguishing lightning-protection gap device. The device comprises a lightning protector main body and an arc-striking electrode. The arc-striking electrode is fixedly mounted at one end of the main body. The other end of the main body is fixedly mounted, by means of a link fitting, to a crossarm or one end of an insulator string. The lightning protector main body is provided with an arc-extinguishing path consisting of several arc-extinguishing channels in a repeated Z-shaped arrangement. An arc-extinguishing tube at an inlet of a first arc-extinguishing channel of the arc-extinguishing path is connected to the arc-striking electrode via an arc-guiding rod, and an arc-extinguishing tube at an outlet of a last arc-extinguishing channel is connected to the link fitting. A three-way tube is provided at a joint of two adjacent arc-extinguishing channels; two ends of the three-way tube are each provided with one arc-guiding electrode; and the arc-guiding electrode has one end extending into the three-way tube and the other end connected to a nearby arc-extinguishing tube via direct contact or a wire. The present disclosure has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, improved arc-extinguishing performance, and stable operation.

Flash tubes for photographic use, in particular, a flash tube is adapted to provide a light output adapted to FP-sync, Flat Peak. The flash tube includes a length of glass tubing enclosing a gas for use in the flash tube, a cathode inside a first end part of glass tubing and an anode inside a second end part of glass tubing. The cathode includes an element that helps to ionize the gas that is wound around the cathode, such that a spark stream starts from the upper part of the cathode and is prevented from spreading down wards on the cathode and changing the arc length during the light output adapted to FP-sync.
