Flashing white lights aren't symptoms of seizure disorder, they're what many people believe to be the cause of seizures.
Staring at something won't give you a seizure. Flashing lights have been known to cause seizure activity in those who already have a seizure disorder.
sometimes it can be from bright flashing lights or colors.

There is a form of epilepsy known as photosensitive epilepsy. People who have that form can have a seizure as a result of flashing lights. They are a very small percentage of the people who have epilepsy. It is about 3% to 5%. For the vast majority of people who have epilepsy, flashing lights have no effect on them at all.
Most people that have a seizure disorder have an "aura" proir to the seizure. This is different for everyone, can be a smell, or an odor, or flashing lights, but it is a warning sign that a seizure is about to happen. Assuming she has had hear ears and nose checked by a doctor and there is no problem this could be the situation. Also, if she has not had a CAT Scan or MRI of her brain to look for problems this should be done to be thorough.
That is a very difficult question to answer. Epilepsy has a wide range of causes, so there is no one thing that would cause a seizure in every person that has epilepsy. For example, you will often hear of flashing lights causing seizures. This is only for about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy. So for the vast majority of people who get seizures, flashing lights will not trigger one and have no effect on them. If there were flashing lights in a classroom and there was a person there who has epilepsy and their seizures were caused by flashing lights, then it is a condition in a classroom that could cause them. So it is more a case of the individual rather than the physical conditions of where they are that will determine if they have a seizure. So someone whose seizures are caused by something like stress won't be affected by physical conditions.
There are all sorts of causes of seizures. Walking in itself would not be one of them. However someone with photosensitive epilepsy could have a seizure triggered if they encountered flashing lights or other interrupted light effects during a walk.
the flashing lights are the fireflies or the beetles :)
There are many causes of seizures. Flashing lights or strobe lights can trigger seizures in people who have what is known as photosensitive epilepsy, but that is only about 3% of people who have epilepsy. Lights are technology, so for those people, then it can, but for most people with epilepsy, it is not a risk.
People with epilepsy can have their seizures triggered by flashing lights
The flashing lights on aircraft are anti-collision lights, so they can be seen more easily.
because flashing green lights mean go and the green lights that are not flashing mean stop
