Here's the
blog entry I usually show when questions like this come up. Human brains just react to flashy things. (You'll also get better battery life out of flashing LED lights than continuously on).
When it's dark, my main light is solid and I have a secondary light that flashes.
I think flashing lights are better than solid ones. I think solid lights are
much better than no lights.
