Consider a replica that fires the smallest flash bulbs. Flash bulbs put out a lot of light for their size, and don't require the high voltage, moderately complex circuitry, or capacitors that involved in electronic flash.

Why not use the real thing? I don't know the sources of flash powder these days, but I always thought it would be fun to use it exactly as it was used in the olden days.
