Step 3Modify the the camera's flash circuit
After you had discharged the capacitor, it is now time to modify the camera's flash circuit into a strobe!
First, remove the flash trigger switch, we don't need those.
Then solder one lead of the neon bulb to the gate of the SCR and the other lead of the neon bulb to the anode of the SCR.
Then solder the anode lead of the SCR to where the flash trigger switch A was, and solder the cathode lead of the SCR to where the flash trigger switch B was.
And you are done, you had modified the flash camera into a strobe!

Unfortunately no. The flash bulb is a xenon gas tube. They are only capable of short bursts. If you were able to get one to light continuously, it would kill whatever batteries you use incredibly fast and the tube would probably melt from the current.
