    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_characteristic

    Another possibility is a composite group, in which successive groups in the period have different numbers of flashes, e.g. "Fl. (2+1)" indicates a group of two flashes, followed by one flash. A specific case sometimes used [2] is when the flashes are longer than two seconds. Such a light is sometimes denoted "long flashing" with the ...

  4. Flash (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_(photography)

    A typical problem with cameras using built-in flash units is the low intensity of the flash; the level of light produced will often not suffice for good pictures at distances of over 3 metres (10 ft) or so. Dark, murky pictures with excessive image noise or "grain" will result. In order to get good flash pictures with simple cameras, it is ...

    Either a quick or a very quick sequence of light flashes may be used; the choice allows for two similar nearby marks to be uniquely identified by their lights. A cardinal mark may be used to accomplish the following: Indicate that the deepest water is an area on the named side of the mark; Indicate the safe side on which to pass a danger
