Lets go back to the basics.

Why do you want your landing.taxi lights on when starting??? or stopping?? The battery would probably be very grateful if you left the heavy loads off, such as landing.taxi lights.

The normal operations of lights has been beaten to death here many times, and now we have a new technique!!

It is a known fact that a warm filament will be more tollerant of vibration. Look at the life of the pulsing lights that are around these days and you will see that they last a lot longer than the plain old On/Off variety.
