strobe lighting
Rapid flash effect
Strobe lighting is illumination produced by a device that emits rapid, repeated flashes of light rather than continuous output.
The effect creates a choppy, freeze-frame visual experience where motion appears segmented or suspended.
Strobe lights are fixtures in nightclubs and concerts, where they heighten sensory intensity, and in photography studios for capturing crisp images of moving subjects.
The strobe lighting made the dancers look like they were moving in slow motion.
