Hi,
Would anyone know where I could obtain 500,000 candela flares.
We are making a WW1 movie and would like to suspend them over the set for lighting.
I purchased some in Australia when I was out there on 'Pacific' but am not having much luck
over here.
The hand held and distress type just don't hit the spot.
We can ship in from Europe if need be. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Are the hand held type not bright enough for you Mike? Perhaps give Kimbolton a try..

Would these helium light balloons be any good?

Have got some from Kimbolton, no where near bright enough.
The ones I used in Oz were out of date Military flares.

Not bright enough mate, thanks for the suggestion though

I've bought marine distress flares from this site before, only 30,000cd but they're hellishly bright.
