[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 106698, member: 18605"] It gets harder and harder to think of gift ideas for a relative to get me for Christmas. I don't have any other hobby for which I need things, so naturally my thoughts turn to drone accessories. Another battery was the first thing on the list, some extra props, a landing pad and maybe antenna reflectors. Then, after the discussion last week on night flight, it occurred to me a strobe would be in order. I watched several YT review and comparisons and browsed the Firehouse Technology website. I saw something I liked the look of for it's all-aspect viewing, curiously enough they call it the " [URL='https://www.firehousetechnology.com/store/p90/%22Spark%22_Drone_Strobe_Light_600_Lumen_FAA_107_Compliant_IP67_Rated_.html#/'][B]Spark drone strobe[/B][/URL] ". The sale price was descent, so I looked at Amazon to see what they had. I saw what appears to be an identical strobe by [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Collision-Quadcopter-Inspire-Phantom-Typhoon/dp/B07V56HSV9/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=drone%2Bstrobe%2Blights&qid=1575313558&sr=8-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVFhPMVdWSlFPSzhNJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzAzMzkwMUg0WDhOVzJUR1RLMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDIzMDA2MVFISUhRWUZWNDY2SSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1'][B]Topsun[/B][/URL] for the same price, so I'm thinking about going with it due to Amazon's return policy should there be a problem. Considering the purpose of the strobe per the FAA is to serve as an anti-collision light, so I was wondering where would be the best place to mount it. Any aircraft would be higher than the Spark, so on top seems logical.
