I went with a bunch of these:
Amazon.com: LYONGTECH Strobe Light,Night Flying Anti Collision Lights for FAA Drone,LED Flash Lamp for DJI Neo,Flip,Mini 5/3/4 Pro/4K/SE/2,Air 3S/3/2/2S,Mavic 4/3/2,Spark,FPV,Avata 2,EVO Accessories(1 PCS) : Toys & Games ($13.50 after coupon right now)
Although after doing some research after I bought the above, I will probably pick up a couple of these:
Amazon.com: Firehouse Technology Arc V Multi-Color Professional Drone Strobe w/Remote Control : Toys & Games ($34)
The Firehouse Arc units have gotten great reviews for visibility and such.
I put mine on the top of the main body, all the way at the back. This to ensure that it doesn't interfere with the GPS unit and such. I put the fuzzy side of the velcro on the drone, and the scratchy side on the LED. Not that it matters. But if you have multiple drones and multiple lights, be consistent about it.
I will also put one on the bottom somewhere, for improved visibility of the unit. Those small $13 ones above are cheap enough, that I like to put a couple of them on. White fast flash on the top, and alternating red/green on the bottom, something like that. I have also 3d printed some brackets for a couple of my drones to be able to have forward facing non-flashing white light. Great for FPV in abandoned buildings and such.
If you have a 3d printer, there are mounts for some models to mount them to the arms and such, if desired. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I intend to. I like the idea of being able to discriminate left/right with red/green.

You can change the lights turning off when shooting video in the camera settings.
