Default lights in the floor

Guys tell me if I am crazy or if there is an easier way to do this.
I have a runway, that I am trying to add some electric blue lights to. what I am planning to do is add some point lights into the enlosure and to simulate them coming and off. I would animate the point lights to go below surface for off rapidly. and retur them bck when they are on..

it sounds like it would work, but is there a way to do without animating the lights to move up and down.

Dont animate the lights themselves with motion just animate the lights intensity useing the envelope button. Thats the E next to the light intensity you can animate it over time so they blink on and off.
