I/m thinking an all around white LED anchor light could be wired to a
relaxation oscillator or 555 timer chip to create a low current draw
white strobe. Yes? No?

You might be even better off with the CMOS version of the 555, which
will draw next to nothing between pulses. It would be good to locate the
timer at the LED, thus avoiding the pulse-distorting effects of a long
cable run.
