There's no dynamic lighting in pball2, as far as I can tell.

Ok, sorry, i'm looking on .map file of Cosmic3 in this moment and i find it!!! The "blicking" is light entity with special type value...2,3,5,... i think, this is something about it, but i don't know what. Does exists some page about entities???

The pages on GameDesign.net (you'll need an account, its free) can explain it all to you. Light entities can have different preset styles, like flashing on and off, flickering like candles, etc...
There are an awfully large number of styles, you'll just have to see which one works best, although how you could implement reasonable looking lightning, I've no idea. Certainly not if you can see a large portion of the skybox, it'd just look weird. Having said that, if you contrived to have the lightning flash on the floor through a window, that might look kind of cool.
The GameDesign.net page kind of hints that there are a range of modifiable styles, but I don't know how you might go about this.

p.s. I didn't just copy and paste the page in full because I don't really want to step on the Rust guys toes.

Huh, I thought I had experimented with this before. Guess I did something wrong. :(
EDIT: Right, it was toggleable lights I was messing with. Disregard what I said. :D

Haunted House map ftw?

There was a lazarus demo map that did this... I'll see if I can find it.

Be careful with flashing lights - they can cause severe framerate hits on some video cards.
