Unless I'm mistakenand I'm not, because I've inadvertantly stuck my fingers on the terminal of a flash capacitor, the flash uses around 15,000 volts, whereas mains uses 240.
The ampage is the reverse, mains is far higher than the flash.
Would 240 even be enough to set off a flash? I'm quite sure it would mightily fuck everything up, so going pop would make sense, but would it be a very bright pop?
(edit) answers below seem to say it wouldn't make any difference.
