^ That would be much too late. I meant the inner marker!
What are "zero zero" conditions??
...when there is no visibility?

yep, zero decision height and zero visibility. In these conditions when would the pilot lower the landing gear?
What are those lights called that flash in sequence towards the runway?
Well in zero zero I think he'd divert if at all he could....otherwise i'd assume he'd lower the gear at the normal time and then retract it if he was forced to go around 😉

About 5 miles out as you intercept the GS. You want to be fully configured before 1000 feet AGL (above the ground).🙂
Lights are called Sequenced flashing lights, part of the approach lights.
and also pilot woundlt land there in zero zero
If the airport has a CAT 3 standard the aircraft can land in zero visibility and many of the world's biggest airports have it. 😉
