Flashing Rate:

The unit recharges quickly, as indicated by the READY light on the control panel. A quick series of flashes can be obtained within the limits of the recharge time. Continuous rapid flashing, however, can overheat and damage the flashtube and internal parts. The maximum recommended rate of flashing would depend upon the power level being used and the amount of operation time. Use the following chart to serve as a guide for the maximum rate to use in your situation.
