Hi!
I think you are referring to an external flash. There can be many benefits for using a flash that is not connected to you camera. First, versatility: many external units allow you to direct the flash in some direction besides head-on, e.g. you can bounce the light off a ceiling. With an extension cable you don't even need the flash attached directly to the camera, providing options such as side lighting. Second, flash power: an external unit can almost always provide more light than your camera's flash. This can be extremely useful if you need to illuminate a large area or an object at a distance. Third, cycle time: the built-in flash on most cameras takes a long time to recharge, usually 5-10 seconds. A good dedicated speedlight will often cycle in less than a second in typical conditions. Fourth, fancy features!
