Flashing landing lights is an anti-collision development.
The bulb is cycled from about 20-100% intensity. This
increases bulb life and the eye sees a flashing light better
than a steady light.
They have these on motorcycles too. They even have a unit
that will flash the brakelight when they are applied
steadily.
