One word for light turning on and off regularly [closed]
When light turns on and off IRREGULARLY, the right word is flicker. Is there a word for light turning on and off at a regular rate?
I believe the answer is blinking.
For example, 'The light was blinking as I entered the ....'.
Flickering is not the correct term since it is defined as "moving or shining irregularly or unsteadily" in Merriam-Webster.
The word flashing is defined as sudden and intense light. It suitable for warning lights that turns on and off as in Strobe and Flashing Lights.
Winking is more suitable for lights seen at a distance as it means twinkling light.
