This came up a few years ago when a Pokemon cartoon caused a few seizures. http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/seizure.asp I'm no doctor either, but I've knows a few epileptics and I'm very skeptical of this. ------------ Patrick Lenon Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:20:04 -0500 From: mosier at gmail.com <http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org> To: bikies at lists.danenet.org <http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org> Subject: [Bikies] Bike Lights & Seizures I was biking home two nights ago at dusk along the lakefront path near campus and saw a runner ahead jogging toward me. As he got close he said "that light can trigger seizures" in a serious non-joking way, and then kept on running. I have heard that flashing lights in videos can trigger seizures, and I agree that my front light blinks annoyingly fast (it's Bontrager Ion 2, from Trek), but is this really a big deal? I find that I am more visible with a blinking light (as opposed to keeping it on steady), and it saves batteries too. -Kristy _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list Bikies at lists.danenet.org <http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org> http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some folks made points about how minimal the chances of flashing bike lights setting off a seizure. Could the people who posted that information please repost or send me the information directly?
