Flashподразумевает вспышки света или внезапное проявление того, что ярко отражает свет.

Twinkle предполагает свет мягкий, слабый и прерывистый мигающий, как мерцание звёзд. Глаза человека, можно сказать, сверкают от изумления.
Flicker предполагает свет, движущихся с неравномерным и стремительным движением, колеблясь из-за внезапного дуновения воздуха, например, мерцание свечи.

dim1) тусклый, неяркий; слабый 2) полутёмный dim room — полутёмная комната 3) неясный, неотчётливый, смутный 4) матовый, тусклый (о цвете), obscure, vague, obscureтёмный, слабо освещённый, тусклый; мрачный, неопределённый, неотчётливый, неясный, смутный,vagueнеопределённый, неясный, смутный; неуловимый.
Dim выражает степень неясности: подразумевается так много неясности, что сущность не может быть понята.
Obscure в настоящее время более часто используется в переносном смысле (обозначая что-то, истинное значение которого не понятно), чем в его буквальном смысле, но оно всё ещё используется, когда есть намёк на неясность, прикрытие, сокрытие, затенение, например, The strange object looked obscure through the deep water.
Vague в нематериальном смысле обозначает знание, идею, утверждение, ответ, чувство, и т.д. которым не хватает чёткого определения потому, что они являются слишком общими или поскольку они не сформулированы достаточно чётко, например, He had got used to connecting her with a vague sense of the future.
