Have you requested them to send you a copy of the FAA approval letter... while the strobe is a good light.... I bet they don’t have one.

This has proven to be the case with multiple aftermarket lights for drones in the past. Seem manufacturers read FAA requirements, do their own testing, and then call FAA approved.
on their uk site they say that the anti collision light unit is the only one that meats the FAA requirements with a 3 mile range in low lighthmmm, so when you say claim, is that not actually approved?
I’d still email support and ask for proof. Other companies have claimed the same thing, but proved only to be their testing w/o any formal FAA approval... just saying.on their uk site they say that the anti collision light unit is the only one that meats the FAA requirements with a 3 mile range in low light

Always hard to tell on video, but it doesn’t look that bright

Thanks for clarifying.
I like that these have the different coloured leds, unlike the Lume-cubes that use coloured filters
Would be interesting to compare these
This is another reason I really trust Firehouse Technology strobes. Their strobes come with FAA Compliance Documentation which is done by an independent testing agency, I took a photo of the one I received on my latest shipment from Firehouse Technology.I’d still email support and ask for proof.

Just ordered four of the new Firehouse ARC XL strobes and Aerial-Pixel mounts. 2 white, 1 red, and 1 green to mount in aircraft fashion.This is another reason I really trust Firehouse Technology strobes.

I compared the inferior Lume Cube strobe vs the Firehouse Technology ARC II and Lightning, the Lume Cube didn't fair well at all, I can't imagine it would actually meet the 3SM requirement but I've only taken it out a mile and it wasn't very visible at night, then put on one of the red or green lenses and it really diminishes the light.
You can see the comparison here:
I do love the ARC XL, just wish they were slightly smaller but nothing a Mavic 2 can't handle just fine. Mounts are HERE for those asking.Just ordered four of the new Firehouse ARC XL strobes and Aerial-Pixel mounts. 2 white, 1 red, and 1 green to mount in aircraft fashion.
These are the brightest by far at 1000 Lumens, use the new nonCREE strobe technology, and I love the L.A.N.D. System for locating the errant drone.... after it’s still for 4 minutes each strobe beeps a 90dB tone. Total weight of the 4 new strobes and the mounts is 99 grams. I’ll take pics and do a write up after I have it all in a week or two after testing.
