I have a Tripp-Lite top of the line surge suppressor.

The lighted switch is near the upper left of the device shown in this
picture.

My dad had a power switching device under his monitor which had the same
symptom, some of the red lighted switches begin flashing/flickering after
years of use.
I find difficult to believe that Tripp-Lite would use a cheap part. The
other parts are very impressive. For example, the outlets are modular
parts, not just pieces of metal stuck inside the plastic housing. My guess
is those red lighted switches are difficult to design for long life. Maybe
having something to do with the fact they are run off of AC line?
Whatever the problem, I am curious what is going on with them. Why do they
begin flashing?
Thanks in advance.
