need help making blinking lights

Hopefully someone can help me out...I need help making flashing/blinking lights. I have a slot machine I modeled and I have small yellow lights all around it (as well as a rotating red light on top) and don't know much more about lighting than just basic setup. How would I go about creating blinking lights for each individual light? Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

the easiest way is to key them individually the smarter way would be to use expressions to set them up. If you want randomness it's easy, if you want to control it will be a bit harder.
