So i have a scene where i want to have a lot of flickering lights, and i've wanted them just like in Stranger Things where every light is flickering on it's own (One neon flickers faster and the other one slower for example) But if i do an array and add a noise every things flickers in the same pattern

Example: https://i.imgur.com/M4B0Hxd.gif

I've defeated this problem with just copying and pasting ceiling tiles with Shift + D but this made this very inefficient and there were a lot of gaps

enter image description here

And this gave me the effect i've really wanted:

Is there any way of speeding this up?

Also, i've noticed when adding noise modifier it's always the same so i need to change the offset so that it can be different from each other.

Just use UV texture coordinates for the noise, and offset UVs for the Array modifier:

You can apply the Array, unwrap with the Project from View option, scale down the UVs with Individual Origins on:

Then use a Noise Texture before your Emission:

Move the texture to switch on and off the lights, it will look random:
