[2] A sudden burst of energy.
[3] When crude oil is heated the lighter or more volatile vapor is separated and travels to the top of the tank. This travelling is called flash.
[4] The impact of electric arc rays against the human eye.
[5] The fin of surplus metal formed at the seam of a resistance weld.
[6] To use your signal lights as in "My car was flashing left".

If you see someone flashing his lights, it could mean that there is a police car ahead so slow down; or it could mean there is danger ahead (e.g., deer on the road, an accident ahead, etc.).
