I have epilepsy, and (not sure if this is universal) but it’s often not JUST flashing lights that causes a seizure. It’s flashing lights in tandem with loud noises, crowds, inebriation, or anything else that could be overstimulating.

From what i understand from my neurologist, your body goes into sensory overload and doesn’t know how to deal with it so it just seizes.
