Attorney, Agent or Firm: Fulmer; Norman C., Kempton; Lawrence R., Neuhauser; Frank L.
A photoflash lamp array comprising a plastic housing containing flash lamps positioned over a circuit board carrying switching circuitry for sequentially firing the flash lamps. The circuit board is made of transparent electrically insulating material having a light-reflecting coating on its rear for reflecting light when the lamps are flashed. The front of the housing is provided with prisms to improve the distribution pattern of light when the lamps are flashed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A photoflash lamp array comprising a plurality of flash lamps, a circuit board carrying circuitry for sequentially firing said flash lamps, said flash lamps being positioned over the front surface of said circuit board and connected electrically to said circuitry, said circuit board being made of an electrically insulative light-transmitting material, and a sheet-like reflective member positioned immediately behind said circuit board and which functions as a reflector of light from said lamps when flashed.
2.
An array as claimed in claim 1, in which said circuit board material is polystyrene.
3.
An array as claimed in claim 1, in which said reflective member comprises a coating on the rear surface of said circuit board.
4.
An array as claimed in claim 1, including a light-transmissive cover in front of said lamps and circuit board, one or both surfaces of said cover being provided with prisms for increasing the illumination in a picture-scene area when said lamps are flashed.
5.
An array as claimed in claim 1, in which said circuitry comprises electrically conductive circuit runs on said front surface of the circuit board and over parts of the areas of said reflective member which reflect light when the lamps are flashed.
6.
An array as claimed in claim 5, in which said circuit runs are made of light-reflecting material.
