Simple, get as many as you wish to use in you light assembly, use one D
cell battery for each flash unit, (keeping it simple), and order from
Radio Shack a device called a LASCR. This means Light Activated Silicon
Controlled Switch. Place this device across the trigger contacts of each
flash unit. One will be required for each unit. What you have just
created is a slave flash unit. They all will respond to your trigger
flash mounted on or to your camera, when you push the shutter all the
flashes will fire.
Contact me off list if you still need more details.
