Why are strobe lights dangerous for some people with epilepsy?
Flashing lights and strobe lights and other forms of irregular lighting can affect the optic nerve and the brain. Looking at any light for a prolonged time can do damage to your eyes, which is why you never do things like stare at the sun. Anyone at any stage of their life can have a seizure and never be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Someone who has recurring seizures is deemed to have epilepsy, but if you had one or two and never had any more, you would not be considered to have epilepsy.So things that trigger seizures in someone who has epilepsy can trigger seizures in anyone. So strobe lights can trigger a seizure in anyone, even if it never happened again. People who have what is known as photosensitive epilepsy can have seizures triggered by strobe lights. Most people who have epilepsy do not have that form, and so strobe lights do not affect them any more than other people who don't have epilepsy at all. Someone who has photosensitive epilepsy has a lower level of susceptibility to strobe lights, than someone who doesn't, but exposing anyone to strobe lighting for long enough could cause them problems, as it is not good to look at it for a long time.

There is no simple answer here, as epilepsy comes in different forms. The nature and cause of the child's epilepsy is what you need to consider here. If there is something that you know has been a trigger for an epileptic seizure and which the child could quite likely encounter when there, then you may need to be more careful. If not, there is no reason why not.
