Both. Blinking is not at all allowed, but since that is only a programming feature, it is easily removed. The issue must be the beam. But please report or provide a beamshot against a wall or in a forest/wooded area.
i personally refer with "StVZO" in most cases to the beam pattern. Whether a light then has a blink mode (like the outbound does) or not is imho irrelevant, i just don't use blink modes, especial not for front lighting.

well amongst others, i do say so as well.
