chasing lights
Pursuing bright points
Chasing lights are a string of bulbs programmed to turn on and off in sequence, creating the illusion of movement—lights appearing to "chase" each other along the strand.
Common on Christmas trees, marquees, and carnival rides: The chasing lights around the theater entrance flickered in endless pursuit.
The effect draws the eye and suggests energy or excitement.
