The same restrictions that apply to your <250g drone are the same for your >250g drone when you register it and fly recreationally. Meaning, nothing has changed; the weight of the drone (up to a certain large/heavy point) does not change the rules that U.S. recreational flyers must follow. Please continue to follow all applicable rules and if you are uncertain or forget those rules, you are welcome to refer back to the TRUST test to refresh your understanding.
Once you're on the government list, you'll always forever be on the government list. There is no easy way to permanently remove it. However, you can go into the FAA portal under your registration details and delete the drone from your inventory. Do this when you no longer own the drone or the drone no longer needs to be registered but there is no guarantee you can go back to being anonymous. If it works like any other government database, the information is still there, you just can't see it. My guess is the FAA needs to know all the previous registered owners for the life of that drone.

Guards are supposed to be cheap, durable, and relatively disposable. My guess is adding expensive strobe lights to them would be counterproductive. Wouldnt be cool to have to replace your guard if your strobe malfunctioned because you banged up the guard and lost a strobe. Not very convenient to have to remove guard to recharge guard/strobe. If you found this product, it would likely have some pretty lousy strobes built in. And wouldn't be much of a true guard if it had built-in switches and electronics. I like my strobes to be free to use (migrate) across all my drones not just tied to the one model dictated by the guard. That being said, I'm all for reflective material and those cheap dazzling lights for show, etc. Glow in the dark guards are cool, too.
The prop guards and strobe lights are not connected. Go back to prop guards. Adding this to my Mavic mini 3 pro puts it over 250g. The rule should be under 250g regardless of prop guard weight. This is a safety issue and not actual drone weight.Guards are supposed to be cheap, durable, and relatively disposable. My guess is adding expensive strobe lights to them would be counterproductive.

Who is "they" and why do "they" want you to add prop guards?
