Best Answer

In the 1800s. There have been three generations of flash equipment, and in the 1800s they used flash powder--powdered magnesium that burned quickly and made a very bright light. Then came flashbulbs--little glass bulbs containing strips of magnesium that burned up when you applied electricity to them. Now we have electronic flashes.
