Flashing Rate:
The unit recharges quickly, as indicated by the READY light on the control panel.

Continuous rapid flashing, however, can overheat and damage the flashtube and
internal parts. The maximum recommended rate of flashing depends 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.
