Assumptions
The Image Aquisition System will be a payload on the BenchBot, and can rely on the BenchBot meeting its stated requirements.
...
The flash should be dominant relative to natural sunlight. As sunlight can reach an intensity of 98.,000 lux, the flash should ideally fire with at least twice the intensity.
...
Our current Godox AR400 ring flash has an output of approximately 8500 lumenseconds with an unknown flash duration. However, assuming that the same numbers apply, we have: 1.,270,000 lux, or 13 times the maximum sunlight intensity for a short interval. If limited to a shutter speed of 1/200 due to a rolling shutter sensor, that number is down to 1,700,000 lumen and 170,000 lux, or 1.7 times the sun intensity.
