This tutorial will show you how to make those cool spinning lights you see in action movies or on police cars.
Anyway, here's how to do them:
First you will need something for these lights to move with, so create a brush. I just made an invisible rectangle but you can make some kind of light fixture if you like.
Change this brush to an entity (ctrl+T) and change it to a func_rotating. Set up the following properties.
Name: int1
Speed: Up to yourself
Start ON: Unless you want it triggered
X/Y/Z axis
Now we're ready to add the lights!
Create two 'Point_Spotlight' entities and move them to either side of the 'func_rotating'. Now give each of the lights a parent, make sure this is what you named the spinning block. Now make sure they are both facing the correct direction.
Here's what they look like in game:
