I have my strobes on the back arms so as not to interfere with the camera. But they are not ARC.

I have 3 Strobon Cree (but same sort of thing as firehouse I believe). I bought inexpensive lightweight landing gear and used double stick tape (less bulky and very secure) to put strobes onto landing gear. Put two on either side and one on the bottom rear of landing gear. This way I don't have tape or velcro on the drone itself, as I mainly use strobes at night, not during daylight flights.

Those lights are quite large, so your mounting options are going to be limited. Flytron STROBON Cree lights or Firehouse Dual Cree lights are a better fit for the Spark since they are only half the size of ARC lights.

I installed it on top, as far forward as possible without interfering with the front props. After looking at an exploded diagram of the spark I felt it was the best location without adding more accessories. Flown 4 batteries through it so far with no problems.

I have the same strobe.. “Firehouse Tricolor ARC” and installed it at the bottom of the Spark. All status lights on the arms went to solid red. I think the vision system at the bottom was affected.
