a pulse of light is not the same as light itself. Its like the spot of light you see when a lighthouse beam hits a cloud. If the cloud is far enough away, it can appear to move faster than the speed of light.

But,
  • the light itself is not going any faster, and
  • no information is transferred
c still rules.
