flashing light Explanation: oder auch "flash light"; lt. Eurodicautom - Woerterbuch der Luft-und Raumfahrt. Intermittent light in which light periods are clearly shorter than dark, with repeated cycle. Ich denke, das sind diese Lampen die sich bei der einfahrt des Zugs in einen tunnel automatisch ein- und danach wieder ausschalten. |
