If that's your cause, then first create trigger_start and your light entity.
Make your trigger_start trigger a delay which triggers the light and a second delay but we will get to that later. Also add at least 3 seconds to that delay.
Then create a second delay which triggers the first delay and also the light and add the same value of seconds as the first one.
I hope I explained it clear enough, unless I'd need to make a video for you.
Here is what I did (trigger ->)
Start -> Delay1
Delay1 -> Delay2, light1 (3 seconds)
Delay2 -> Delay1, light1 (3 seconds)
Button -> light1
the light will start out off and can be then activated by a button, also deactivated. if thats what u wanted
CrazyPenguin: Just connect trigger_use to env_light, easy bussines.And bit of advice for future, i see you have problems with basic stuff in editor, guess youre fairly fresh player, but no problem, you could check other maps how other players have done stuff in editor and learn from that.
crazy junkman Wolfgang: Nope. He wants to make a blinking light which can be closed by players. So it will be blinking and also can be closed or opened at the same time. But what you suggested is just for making a basic light interacted with a 
trigger_use.I believe this is impossible to make it via map editor. We can never know which delay is in the process when a player uses the button. However, we can know that by using Lua.
Masea: : Oh then i must have missunderstood, but nevertheless it can be done by using the editor, its not anything complicated but that process would use npc-s and explosions aswell as some walls and ofcourse delays. If @ CrazyPenguin: didnt find any solutions i could make small test map for you to study how its done. edited 1×, last 28.12.17 11:19:39 am
I had Light Stripe placed instead of env_light
CrazyPenguin: Why not just Trigger_Use and Env_Light? works for me, it's a pretty good technique i use for mapping. The_Admiral: read the comment above yoursread the original post where I specifically said this quote
"EDIT: I had placed wrong light entity without noticing I needed to place env_light which can be switch on and off with simple use trigger button"
