There was a discussion a while ago about flash trigger voltages and a list somewhere on the net of what they are. I have come across a very interesting article in a local electronics mag about this very subject. What they have discovered is, it is very difficult to get an accurate measurement of the voltage. Basically any Digital Multi Meter will load down the trigger voltage and depending on the DMM, the more or less loaded down it is. Analogue Multi meters are worse. Even a Digital scope with a 50Mohm probe loads down the trigger voltage. So the list on the net will be out anywhere from 5% to 500%, so beware. The mag article uses Kirchoff's law to get the real flash trigger voltage. Rather complex math beyond my skill level.
