The problem is that even if you changed how the bulb was 'lit', it would still be 'flashing' (pulsing) as far as a digital circuit would see - since lamps are *pulsed* on and off at a high frequency.

I'm no expert, and maybe a more circuit-oriented person can comment, but perhaps a mix of some kind of voltage gate with a capacitor would help with the 'pulsing'. If so, then you could - in theory, take 'x' number of readings per second, and assuming that if half of the readings are on, then you could tell the lamp flashing..?
