I doubt VERY MUCH that a bike light could trigger a seizure unless you're holding it in the person's face and propping their eyes open. 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.

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 [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
