Why not use the Accessibility setting?
Disabling the in-game 'Accessibility' > 'Lightning flashes' setting makes changes to other flickering light effects in the game. If you only want to modify the fabricator, this mod should work for you.

Why not adjust the look of the effect?
Disabling it entirely was the first thing I tried and I thought it looked fine.
