I won't buy them, but if I see them I stare at them almost transfixed. Our admin had this toy light that looks kind of like the old lava lamps but it has sparkles in it instead and they really catch the light when you shake it. She shook it one time and I just froze and stared at it. I've always wondered what caused that, but I do like looking at them even if I do freeze.

I can get transfixed on christmas tree lights. Sometimes I wor out the flash pattern sometimes i just get totally transfixed and lost in time.

Too many lights overloads me though. Especially in combination with other factors. A good example is a busy shopping high street jammed of people and loads of flashy xmas lights. That tends to be a bit too much for me.


I also like turning light switches on and off.

I agree. Anything that moves like that, spinning, fascinates me and i will freeze and stare at it like others here have said they stare at lights. Though i do work out patterns of chrismas lights too. However flashing lights, like strobe lights, freak me out.

I love lights and have always loved lights, not plain ones, but coloured ones, especially blue lights. I even like fireworks, believe it or not, in spite of the loud noises...but only when it is a display I am watching and not for too long. I cannot stand listening to endless bangs when I am in my room trying to do something. I like flashing xmas tree lights, and fibre optics have fascinated me since I first saw them in Disney. Beautiful, they are.

You have spinner moments too!


I agree about strobe lights. Even some of the ads on here freak my eyes out and I have to launch another session and place it over the ad.
