Next year, it will be allowed in The Netherlands to fly by night. Because the spark is hard to see in the dark, I'm looking for some strobo LED or something to enhance my view.
What LEDs do you use and where is the best place to mount it on my bird? What is the minimum amount of lumen it should have?
Any kind of information is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Here's a recent discussion on the subject: Strobe for Sparky

I have since purchased a Flytron Strobon Cree (white), but have not mounted it yet.

Not sure if a spark could carry one, I suspect it might be able to carry about 150 grams
But I have used a lume cube 1500 lumens on a Mavic Pro


for navigation I use 2 x Strobon Cree's on my spark

I use 3 Strobon Cree lights (red, green, white). I purchased inexpensive landing skids and then cut down to just stubs for weight and drag reduction - then used Scotch 3M fasteners to attach the strobes to the landing gear. This way I can use the gear at night with strobe lights attached or take off for daytime flights. I can see the strobe lights 3 miles away at night.
