Tape. Stick it on (lights out) take if off (lights on)How to turn off (and, on again) all lights on the aircarft?
Does this do what you want?How to turn off (and, on again) all lights on the aircarft?
Mavic does have that but doesn't turn off all the lights just front ones only M2E in stealth mode can turn all of them on and offDoes this do what you want?
It's from the Phantom but the Mavic probably has a similar function in the app settings.

I hate the idea of drawing attention to myself.. And I don't want to get robbed..

And having marker lights on the drone you fly attracts thieves??And I don't want to get robbed.
Why do you want to turn the lights off?
It is likely, if not now then very soon the way Drone laws are going, that you MUST have navigation lights on your aircraft.
In your environment I would not run with the lights off.
If you feel that it is not safe to run with them on don't fly.
Out of curiosity- give us one example of where it might be beneficial to have the rear boom lights off..... Bad reasons should prove easier to offer than good ones. They are certainly easier to imagine.Do you actually have an answer to his question? He didn't ask if it was safe or correct to fly with the lights off.
To the OP, the front lights can be turned off, but the only way currently to turn off the rears is to use dark tape.
Clearly, there are situations where one would want the lights off otherwise the Enterprise version would not have offered that function.

It seemingly doesn’t help the OP.DJI must have thought of several to include it in the Enterprise version.
I can think of one reason where I recently needed it. I was flying indoors at night and I didn't want the flashing of the rear lights ruining my video as the flash of the lights bounced off all the walls and could be seen in the video.
But, I ask again, how does this discussion help to get the OP's question answered?

There are seemingly limited interpretations that might be made on the scenario presented. Probably the top of the list being I want to fly around at night without revealing the location where I am launching from and where the sUAV will be returning to land. second might be I know I shouldn't be flying in the proposed circumstances so would like to maximise my chances of doing so undetected. It might be that neither scenari presents a good case for flying without lights for most people.That response does not fit the senario I was replying to: "I hate the idea of drawing attention to myself.. And I don't want to get robbed.. "

What is your point?The person I was replying to lives on the estuary that is the entrance to a harbour in a part of the world that has had a lot of terrorist activity for 50 years. So I can understand the not drawing attention from the "bad guys"* OTOH any form of clandestine activity is likley to be seen as a problem by "everyone" in particular the authorities particularly as it is a main shipping/ferry route.
*Your definitions of Good/Bad guys may vary to the OP, me and anyone else.

What is your point?
Gotcha.That flying near/in a port area with a blacked out drone in a region that has had a LOT or terrorist activity for years is not a good idea.
Any group that does not identify the Drone as "one of theirs" is likely to take hostile action.
Getting caught by the police is probalby they safest option.
