The GE No.50 and Sylvania No.3 were meant to be used in
studio reflectors with very slow shutter speeds (1/25th or
longer) or open flash. A single bulb in a 12" reflector has
a guide number of 600 for ISO-100 film. Thats f/6 at 100
feet folks, try that with your stobe units. Remember, these
are bulbs about the size of 150 Watt household lamp.
