Thank you for that video,
I have tried making flash lamps in the past and they had a very short life, what i lack now is access to machine tools so i can't make the ends.
One odd thing that i learned was glass in a liquid state is conductive
What i use the tubes for is to act as a switch to some other device so low resistance is also needed but that hobby is currently inactive, i did finaly repair my power supply and have all the other equipment just no way to make the ends. this all originally was planned to make a large flash unit for wild life photography at night, the idea was to leave the shutter open and trigger the lamp and illuminate a very large area but that was shelved as all the equipment is far from portable.
The only gas i can get currently is argon but that i think would work after watching that video, the argon was originally for my wire welder as a shielding gas for welding aluminum
