A high-voltage type photoflash lamp having an ignition structure including an improved primer material for the reliable ignition of filamentary combustible material distributed within the oxygen-filled envelope of the lamp. The primer material comprises, a particulate fuel such as zirconium powder, an oxidizer salt such as potassium perchlorate, a binding agent such as nitrocellulose, a finely divided inert material such as fumed alumina, and an additive of conductive fibers for controlling breakdown voltage. A preferred additive comprises finely milled or chopped fibers of carbon or graphite.
