English term or phrase: Chasing Mode
Il s'agit d'un mode d'éclairage pour une lampe de vélo - du type K2000 - pour ceux qui se souviennent de David Hasselhoff dans les années :-)

Je n'arrive pas à trouver d'équivalent en français...

mode clignotement alterné
Explanation:
I recently started a thread after I saw a cyclist with a Cateye LD600
rear light. It was on chasing mode where only 1 of the LEDs is lit at
any one time.
The two different chasing modes are on the left. Then the steady
mode and the flashing mode where all LEDs flash at once is on the
right.

As I overtook him I
saw it was a Cateye LD600 on the chasing mode where each LED lights up
in turn but there is only one LED on at any time. So from the
perspective of a driver this mode would appear to be useless. IE only 1
fifth of the light put out compared to either the constant mode where
all LEDs are lit or the flashing mode where all LEDs flash
simultaneously. Plus from a distance the chasing mode loses the
flashing effect.

"5 LEDs et une lentille de technologie Opticube font de la HL-EL 220 un éclairage parfait pour la ville au coucher du soleil. Utilisez le mode flash avec les éclairages urbains et le mode constant pour les endroits les plus sombres"
