Hi Everyone..
I've posted before complaining about this.. but I hate strobe lights! They send me into a sp almost immediately. I became really photosensitive about 5 or 6 years ago. I've had e my whole life but somehow the photosensitivity just started then.
Anyways I can't watch hockey or basketball due to the strobe lights. I'm guessing most people have noticed them.. I did some digging and found some answers in some photography forums.
Turns out the professional photographers hired by the league or teams install strobe lights in the rafters which are remotely connected to their cameras. When they take the picture a signal is sent to the strobe to flash as they take the picture to maximize the amount of light.
The lights are pretty intense at our arena, people I've talked to are annoyed with them and say they're distracting. I've complained to the owners of our arena, the Jets management, and the NHL. The arena says it's not their responsibility, it's the teams and the league. The Jets management says it's the photographers responsibility. The photographers say it's the teams responsibility. And the NHL won't respond to anything I send them.
Now that I understand how and why it still doesn't make me feel any better.. We finally got the Jets back from Atlanta and I haven't been able to watch them once. blah.

The fluorescent lights at my college are also making life pretty difficult!
