Explanation:

We need the next instances when the signals light up.
That means the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 4, 8, 10, 12
3, 4 divide 12 so neglect them.
LCM of 8, 10 and 12
∴ LCM = 4 x 2 x 5 x 3 = 120 = They light up together after 2 hours
After starting, they light up together 1st time in 2 hours.
Then 2nd time in 2 + 2 = 4 hours.
Then 3rd time in 6 hours.
And 4th time in 8 hours.
