Scored Some New Nav Lights

[FlyGuy8675309]

Just came in the mail today -- Can't wait to test them tonight!

Two LEDs per unit, three flash modes ("breathe", slow, fast -- no solid burn), rechargeable (special cables included in box). Price? Under $18 shipped!

Of course these are a bit bigger than the awesome STROBONs.. I actually got these for an RC plane. I thought they would be bigger -- but the size will work for quads just fine.

Going for a distance test tonight to see how far you can see them and will report back!

Do you think the weight will effect performance?

Can you post an image of the lights with a penny or quarter for a size reference?

TIA,

Sorry! Should have followed the link. Let us know how these work out,

Well this went south quickly. Before I even got them on the AC the white and red light failed. I'm suspecting a bad charger. The true test will be A) How the seller takes care of this, and B) How well the replacements do. We'll see.

Anywho - these things are very light (no pun intended!) -- three of these would not affect the handling or flight time.

I was able to test the green one last night. Put it on in the front the wide way like a light bar on an emergency vehicle. They certainly pass the brightness test. Was able to see it over a mile out.

So the test is if I just got unlucky or if these are crap. Story at 11 (or whenever I hear back from the seller LOL).
