The current being so low on those flash units makes the load of the indiglo
stuff drop the voltage to about 80 which will give it a nice blue glow (they

Not sure if anyone has had to resort to this but its a good tip when you do=

works quite well for motor shaft traction covers (I have Namiki 1701's) al=
though even smaller wire may work better.
