Serious question for epileptics. Are those failed LED flashing street lights an issue? I feel like they must be. Even to me they can be disorientating at night when the one flashing lamp on the exit ramp is the main light source.

I'm not epilectic but I'm always super annoyed when someone walks their bicycle and the led front light keeps pulsing in bright rapid flashes because of the dynamo

My bike does that too, it's annoying and it's disappointing they wouldn't put in a capacitor that ensures it doesn't blink at lower speeds or whatever. The back light has a battery in it so it stays on for a while when the bike is stopped.
