If it saves one child’s life, it is worth any effort:

I once worked with a young woman who would experience seizures from sitting in front of a computer monitor.

I imagine a strobe light would be much worse in her case.

I just flipped through two medical texbooks, one on pediatrics. I find no mention of "photosensitive epilepsy." I'm not denying that it is recognized as a medical entity, but let me point out that your link is not an authoritative professional medical source.

Incidentally, if strobe lights and loud noises can trigger seizures in 3-5% of epileptics, it would seem as if the phenomenon would have been observed quite a bit in discotheques in the '70s (when discos were the craze), and written up in the medical literature then. Offhand, I don't know if it was.
