You can use them in any flash unit they fit into. The only important point is that to use them with a short duration focal plane shutter, the camera must have the correct sync timing (M sync). Two things cooperate in this action:
1) the shutter slit opens and starts to travel after a short delay to allow the bulb to reach full brightness
2) the FP bulb maintains full brightness for a longer time than a regular bulb, allowing time for the shutter slit to travel across the whole image
