Abstract
An external flash lamp and a flash lamp system. The flash lamp system comprises an external flash lamp and a set-top flash lamp. After the external flash lamp is detachably fixed to the set-top flash lamp, the external flash lamp can be electrically connected to the set-top flash lamp, so as to transmit a control signal and an operating current. The illumination range of the external flash lamp can supplement the illumination range of the set-top flash lamp, thereby solving the problem of low brightness of some areas.
