In fencing, when using the electric scoring apparatus (like here), a light turns on any time a sword hits something, and the ref calls halt (i.e., stop). If the light is white, it's off-target, and the bout continues from when the last attack started. If it's a single coloured light, it's a point to that side. If both lights turn on, the ref decides who had the right of way, and that person gets the point.
Congratulations to Belgium on their great performance! 🔥🔥🔥
Great result for Belgium

What is the meaning of the white light? Also why do they stop when it turns on? *i am new to fencing*
It means off target, someone hit somewhere but it wasn’t in the valid target (the gray vest of lamé)
