strobe lights
Rapid flash lamps
Strobe lights are lights that flash rapidly on and off, creating a pulsing or flickering effect.
They're fixtures of dance clubs and concert venues, where they fragment motion into staccato snapshots.
Emergency vehicles use them for visibility.
In photography, a strobe is a flash unit.
The singular strobe can mean the light itself or the flashing effect: The strobes were giving me a headache.
