strobes
Disco ceiling fixtures
Strobes are lights that flash in rapid, regular bursts.
The word is short for stroboscopic, describing the flickering effect.
Strobes appear in photography equipment, emergency vehicles, dance clubs, and aircraft warning systems.
As a verb, to strobe is to flash intermittently: Red lights strobed across the ceiling.
The flashing can induce disorientation or, in some people, seizures.
