Also, I want to make an anchor light with 6 of the 60 degree lamps
flashing so fast they look like they are all on- kind of like the
moving pictures principle. A 555 timer chip, a capacitor, a current
limiting resistor? In theory this would still only drawn the current
of one lamp. Is any of this practical? Thanks again.

An anchor light is not supposed (or even allowed to) flash.....
