The visual LED's will begin to intermittently illuminate!
Can you say it more beautifully?
The writer must be a really illuminate person!
Cheers

Dear Heinrich,
The visual LED's will start to blink. OR
The visual LED's will start to blink intermittently.
I hope this will help you.

| The LED will blink | Apr 18, 2007 |
Or "The LED blinks"
I think that "visual" is redundant

| My suggestion | Apr 18, 2007 |
When the LEDs light up, their visual aura embraces the reader/user/spirit with a heavenly light.
Good night!

That's much better already. Thank you Viktoria.
Perhaps we could still mention the acoustic LEDs and the visual beepers?

I'm relieved to see that apostrophe removed:-)

Hi,
Did it work? I think using the verb "to blink" is a good choice.

I just wanted to show what kind of language you can encounter in English technical documents which are probably not written by very illuminate people.

Assuming this is a piece of off-the-cuff writing by a bored CAT tool trying its hand as a free-form essayist, my only quarrels are with the split infinitive and the unwarranted apostrophe. I've certainly seen far worse writings - including a lot of stuff from human writers with PhDs!
visual might not be superfluous, as Lia suggests, if the system also has infra-red LEDs (like those in a TV remote control).
And maybe the LEDs are actually being used to illuminate something, not just to look pretty. I am the (not very) proud owner of a flashlamp that has 15 white LEDs instead of a good old-fashioned torch bulb - it's flippin' brilliant! *.
As usual, it all depends on CONTEXT...
So, asusming the facts are correct, it might perhaps read thus:
The visual LEDs (but not the IR LEDs) will begin to illuminate the (whatever is benefitting from the flickering light) intermittently.
