Auxiiary lights

[Colonel Forbin]

Tried searching but no good luck. Does anybody have suggestions or info for lightweight add-on lights for twilight/dusk flying that are compatible/compliant with FAA guidelines registering 3 mile visibility ?

FIREHOUSE! Find them on amazon or other places they are tested certified.

That is the one I ordered. I got it about a week ago and had opportunity to use it finally over the weekend- well pleased. I am still a little skeptical that can be seen from 3 sm away but it seems as if that is accepted and so I am happy. Took a minute to figure out how to set the pattern I wanted but now all is swell.

I can personally vouch for 2 and a bit....with my own eyes from the ground.

I just picked up a set of Firehouse Arc Strobe set, 3pc, white red, green, from drones made easy in San Diego. Work great even in daytime. Makes it real easy to re-aquire VLOS when you look away from the drone. I mount them using the Scotch brand loop fastening material (lowes/home despot etc.). Made one mistake mounting them with the white fairly forward. Was experiencing some signal errors. Moved the white back to just forward of the rear fan port. Also moved the side nav points back as far as possible by the battery compartment. The only gripe I have with the strobes is they use (to me the hated ) usb micro instead of the USB-C connector.

Warning, LOOK AWAY from them when starting up. They are VERY bright in strobe. You will see spots.
