[QUOTE="Dougcjohn, post: 104231, member: 4060"] Proper night lighting? Drone LED’s? Surely you’re not suggesting the Drone‘s indicator LED‘s on the drone motors meet Regulation as “proper”. USA is also allowed as “Recreational / Hobbyist“ flight with proper lighting, the PT107 flight status requires advanced waiver. (A PT107 can declare prior to flight that it’s recreational the last time I verified) The term “proper“ means intensity of light and viewable from all directions. The lighting that meets aviation regulations, which are global regulations all countries apply. Some Countries are more strick, but the minimum is 3 Nautical Miles, viewable all 4 directions. No low intensity Drone led comes close to that specification. Several newer types are now made, but the smallest & lightest are Cree LED’s. Should be using Cree LED’s... and Cree holders for all DJI, Yuneec, Autel platforms are available to allow snapping on & off quickly. The Cree 2-3 LED meet minimal standards, and now offered are 4 LED lights. Placing these can on legs, belly or top... Usually if placed on 4 legs, they are visible from all directions. I had 1LED Sets... very bright, then changed to 2LED... the new ARC 4LED look interesting but the 2LED sets work great. I easily move them between aircraft using appropriate mounts for each I personally don’t know if Mavic Mini has LED’s... guess I assumed at least indicators for video. But no Drone has motor LED’s pass any countries aviation night visibility minimal requirement. Enjoy the Night Flying, but make yourself visible to Aircraft!
