This X-ray correct, inert improvised light bulb detonator is an electrically initiated blasting cap that is very similar to what is being used by terrorists overseas. The initiator part of the detonator comes from a string of decorative lights, reinforcing how simple, everyday objects can easily be transformed into IED components. This blasting cap simulant is visually correct and engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat. This cap shows electrical continuity. It does not have an “inerting hole”.
