Flashing lights can affect people with epilepsy

The Issue

Problem
I am trying to stop the use of fast flashing lights,especially at Xmas, as they can bring a seizure on due to photosensitive epilepsy. This is a very serious matter which i am sure affects thousands of people in the UK. I have to avoid many shops because of this. On many occasions I have had Petit Mals [absence seizures] due to this.  So if this changes I will not be having as many petit mals due to this. I will also lower the risk of this issue producing and developing into full blown seizures.

Solution
By Retailers understanding that this these type of flashing lights can trigger a fit/seizure for so many people.

Personal story
There has been certain occasions where I've had to walk out of shops because there were fast flashing lights. This has been in shopping centres & on Christmas trees as well. It makes me feel very degraded & prevents me from going to certain shops & places.
