that's odd, most photoflash LEDs are 1.5-2.0A. You should not need a transformer of any kind. all you need is a super cap and to make sure the max current is not exceeded.
higher wattage = 3W

The specs are way out there ??
Now how to flash them - looking at a TPS61059 or a MAX16824/16825
Not really sure if this will give the bright flash wanted?
maybe several flashed at same time like 50ms??
