As they can be a little fragile, and frankly it's just wasting a tiny bit of fuel, no I don't use it all the time as a conspicuity aid - that's what strobes are for.
I'd rather waste a bit of fuel than waste the whole aircraft, with me inside....

Strobes aren't fitted to all aircraft, in any case.
