Does anybody know if there is a way to turn on the auxiliary bottom light when using a smart controller? Using it makes the drone easier to spot and track at the higher altitudes. Thanks....
 
choose one of the programmable buttons, I have, one of the underside ones, can switch between on/off/auto, been a while since I done it, you'll find out how to do it in the manual

Yes, use the left side "trigger finger" button on the controller. It does the "ON" - "OFF" - "AUTO" for your AUX light. The right side does you gimble "Straight down" & "Re-centre".
 
Incidentally, does anyone know if using the bottom light a lot has a noticeable impact on the battery life?

It doesn't. Sensors, lights, etc. use a fraction of the power of the motors themselves. Its comparatively quite negligible.

While you could turn the bottom light on, it is a relatively low powered LED and I doubt that it would be much use spotting your drone at higher elevations in the daylight. I would strongly recommend a good cree strobe. For me, a strobe on the bottom is de rigueur when I fly.
