strobe
Rapid blinking light
A strobe is a light that flashes rapidly and repeatedly, used in photography, emergency vehicles, and dance clubs.
The flashing creates a distinctive effect where motion appears choppy or frozen.
As a verb, to strobe is to flash in this manner: Emergency lights strobed across the wet pavement.
