Hey, that's right, you could put the primary of the
Tesla Coil in series with the flashtube. I've seen
some strobe lights that even have an inductor in
series with the tube, I think to widen the flash

I've got some 12V strobe light kits around here and
some small TC secondary forms. So let us know how it
works out.
