There are many ways to get the flashing lights, but the most common method
is to use a sensor with an off field of 1 or some other small number,
that way when the player enters the on area it automatically turns off,
unless the player is in the really small off field area, which is almost
impossible. Connect the dimmer to the sensor. You can then connect the 
dimmer to other lights to get those lights to flash or you could leave the
dimmer unlinked to other lights and that way it will effect the ambient,
and all the lights in the area will flash.
