Yeah that could be pretty good!

Mark if you've got a flash slave you could link it to the light at and then avoid any speed camera flashes!

I'm a good boy and don't speed :rasp:

Not sure if a flash trigger would be quick enough to respond to a speed camera going off. But would be an interesting idea. :thumbright:

It could be set up on a timer to blank out the second flash which is always X milliseconds later for the speed measurement?

I did wonder what'd happen if you did that using ultra high power far infra-red flash bulbs on the old film based gatso cameras - i reckon that could've easily started a fire on the negative in the camera :whistle: :whistle:
