How to automatically dim flashing lights on Mac
Learning how to automatically dim flashing lights on Mac is extremely important if you, a friend or a family member experiences photosensitive seizures.
Those with photosensitive epilepsy experience seizures brought on by flashing or strobing lights, and this can include flashing lights emanating from digital screens. If you yourself have photosensitive epilepsy, or you’re sharing your screen with someone who does, tweaking your Mac’s settings to automatically counter such lighting effects can reduce the risk of seizures.

Better yet, it’s incredibly easy to enable, although you might miss the feature if you didn’t know where to look. Don’t worry though — we’re here to guide you through the process.
