Hi Win,
Take my word bright flickering lights have always triggered seizures for me. I saw my epileptologist and he did a special e.e.g on me flashing different color strobe lights one at a time and he found that bright white, amber, and florescent green were the 3 main colors that would trigger seizures for me. He told me that when this happens it means that a person is photosensitive. If this happens to you again turn your head away and look at a dark color this has helped me a lot from having any seizures from the bright lights. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sunglasses, sunglasses, sunglasses...... They don't have to be expensive or any special type--- I get the cheap walmart ones (usually in a darker tint) and they help a lot !

I have problems with flashing lights too. Whether it's fireworks (some are just terrible for me), or oncoming car lights at night (they almost seem to put me in a trance at times). Strobe lights are the worst. Or bright light through trees if you're driving at a high speed. It doesn't necessarily trigger a seizure but it sure messes with my eyes and again almost puts me into a trance like state. Weird. Talk about giving me a headache.

I dont like leaving the house on bright sunny days, cant do it unless i have sunglasses. and even the bright gray days of winter mess with me unless i have sunglasses. They have not caused me to seize, but they give me a TERRIBLE headache...pain as soon as the light hits me...I have noticed that riding in a car, on the interstate, ecspecially a busy one...really makes me ill....i experience the nausea that always comes with my aura...i can travel better at night, as long as I dont have to look straight on into headlights...i dont know how I will manage it when I start driving again....which will hopefully be in April!!
