Animated Pilot Lights

Animated pilot lights alternate between two colours, with one colour "growing" (increasing in diameter) from the centre outwards. This provides a "flashing" effect. Animated pilot lights are only available in certain colours and "flash" by alternating between two fixed colours. The flash rate is fixed at a period of 1 second.

SVG animations are a comparitively new feature in web browsers and may not work correctly in all browser versions even if that browser supports (non-animated) SVG. Test all your target browsers to see if they will work for you. SVG animations may place significant CPU load on the PC used to display them. Avoid using a large number of simultaneous animations and check the resulting CPU load on the target PC.
