Lightbulb Experince
This worked out about like I expected.
Take an old reflector style bulb, break the vacuum (I don't want it exploding as I work on it) and use a Dremel tool to hog out a hole in the base. Put it on a wooden base and put a fire cracker inside.
You can see the light from the firecracker (it's off center towards the right) and it has exposed the breaking glass. A few bitty-seconds later the fragments from the exploding glass set-off my IR sensor and fire the flash(s).
At this point the area in the vicinity of the firecracker is a fast moving spray of powder and fragments. The rest of the glass is starting to fly apart in a lovely pattern of crackle.
It's just how I like things, a balance of chaos and order. Not my best picture ever but a pretty thing non-the-less.
Cheers.
