Strobe light

[PaulUK]

I bought a Lume Cube Strobe which came from an Amazon EU supplier with no problems; this is FAA approved so may meet any possible future regs by our CAA.

Can anyone recommend a good strobe light for the mini 2 that I can buy in the UK.
I was looking at a Firehouse one but they are American and don't ship to the UK.

I have two Flytron on mine. (Red under, White on top). Still under 250gms. They work very well. Well made. Said to be visible at 3 NM. (CAA approved) Must be going blind as at about 1km out I struggle to pick them up.
I would fully recommend. They are not expensive. Velcro holds very well.

I'm not going to go into it unless you really want me to but I'd stay away from Lume Cube for a number of reasons and it's way expensive. But there are many got chas hidden between the lines.

I have several Firehouse Arc-V strobes (green, red, white) and I love them! I can keep a good viz on my M3 from 2.5 km away. Perhaps an eBay sale?

Getting then shipped is the issue.
Got to be something to do with the lipo batteries, as tiny as they are.

Not sure how others get to ship lipo powered strobes, maybe not as conscientious as FHT, or maybe they declare and ship correctly.

I have one of these. I removed the wings and use Velcro. Works well and is BRIGHT!

It shouldn’t be a problem. Screenshot

Yes, not sure why FHT have that issue, but I worked around it with the niece taking delivery in the US, and onforwarding.

I'm pretty right for the FHT strobes, 2 orders in the past via different avenues . . . just checked / charge the 4 I have as I'm in the process of charging up for a few days away from tomorrow.

Not sure who X Jet / Bruce is, I googled X Jet drone and nothing obvious came up.
For others reference, are they in the US, and do you have a website link for them ?

Thanks for the tips anyway

Bruce/Xjet is a drone/RC guy in Aussie. YouTube channel. He discusses all sorts of technical aspects of flying and electronics as well as delving into some of the regulations you all have to deal with

Thanks, found him on YouTube.
Looks like he might be a New Zealand enthusiast though, but not that far from Oz.
Interesting channel, will take a look around there sometime.
