VIFLY Drone Strobe Light, Anti Collision Light for FAA Drone Night Flying, Fits DJI Mini 3 Pro/Mini 4 Pro/Mini 2/Air 3/Air 3S/Mavic 3/Mavic 2/Avata/Neo/Flip(1pc pack)

You Need This to Legally Fly at Night
FAA rule (Part 107) states that if you fly your drone at night, you must have at least one flashing anti-collision light, that is visible for 3 statute miles, installed on your your drone. It must flash between 40-100 cycles (flashes)/minute. If you don’t, and you fly after sunset or before sunrise, you can be fined.The VIFLY drone strobe satisfies this law. It’s been tested and it exceeds this requirement. It’s visible 360° around it’s vertical axis.I’ve put the strobe on the top of my DJI MINI 3 PRO. This is the best place for an anti-collision strobe light.There seems to be some confusion about the purpose of the strobe and where to install it on a drone. The strobe must be seen by OTHER AIRCRAFT. It’s NOT there for you to see your drone at night. Other aircraft, like planes and helicopters, are going to be flying above the 400 foot maximum drone flight height, not under or beside your drone. Therefore, you should place a strobe on the top.You can certainly put more lights on your drone; I’m going to. But I wanted to demonstrate the proper placement to satisfy the FAA and the reason for the law.The light has 3 modes: steady on, slow flash, and strobe. It has 3 colors, red, green, and white. You can set the lights in any combination. To be in compliance, you have to put a light in the strobe mode.I’ve set my strobe to flash GREEN. The rods and cones in our eyes are photoreceptors (they see light). The cones detect color. The cones have the hardest time seeing red. They are MORE SENSITIVE TO GREEN LIGHT, than white, especially when the green is mixed with yellow.When I install the other lights, I’ll decide on the other colors, but for FAA compliance, green is best.VIFLY supplies you with quality 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Tape; it’s the type of tape with plastic teeth on both pieces. It’s got super strong adhesive on both strips, and is resistant to chemicals and extreme changes in temperature. I used my hair dryer on warm to gently warm each strip once I placed them. The bond is so strong, I can pick up the entire drone by the light.VIFLY also supplies you with a USB C cord to recharge the light. The light charged up quickly when I got it. It weighs 5.7g. The DJI MINI 3 PRO weighs 248g, with battery, which means one light puts it over the FAA mandated 250g license rule.I don’t plan on flying much at night, and when I do it’ll be way below the 400ft ceiling, and on my property. I won’t fly with the light on the drone otherwise.The VIFLY strobe is a quality light, and if you ever fly at night, you shouldn’t slip on this important aftermarket upgrade.

Excellent Strobe for your Drone
I purchase this strobe and the Tomat ($17.59) strobe for testing. Although this was the cheaper option it weighed less (6 grams vs Tomat at 12 grams) and actually put out more light when tested at night. It was just a slight difference, but more noticeable depending on the orientation of the emitter (viewing from the sides had the best light output). I thought because the Tomat had a plastic cover it would distribute the light more evenly. All the cover did was add weight and look nice. I did like the Tomat because it would indicate battery level and would flash between white and red. the Vifly did not have either of these features, but overall these were unimportant to me, so this strobe is a keeper for weight and brightness. A good, inexpensive buy.

Drone Strobe Lights Review – I Am Very Impressed With These Strobes
These drone strobe lights are impressively bright and significantly enhance visibility for my DJI Mini 3. The white anti-collision strobe on top is so intense that I need to be cautious when activating it to avoid temporary flash blindness. The red and green navigation strobes are easily visible from at least three-quarters of a mile at night, and I believe they could be seen from even farther, though I haven’t tested beyond this range as I’m still gaining experience with my sUAS.During daytime flights, these strobes help maintain visual line of sight (VLOS), reducing the risk of momentarily losing track of the drone—a common issue for many pilots. The battery life is solid when the lights are set to strobe mode, lasting significantly longer than when set to steady. However, the red strobe seems to drain the battery faster in steady mode, so I keep extra strobes on hand for longer flights.The 3D-printed clips that secure the strobes to the drone arms are lightweight and hold the lights firmly in place, though they can be slightly challenging to open during attachment. Despite this minor inconvenience, the clips do their job effectively. Overall, these strobe lights are a worthwhile investment for improving drone visibility and safety, offering excellent performance for their price.Fly Safe!

Love them … bought two of them to use as position lights on my drone (alike planes) : one green strobe facing front on front right arm and one red strobe facing rear on rear left arm. It then eases up much to identify from ground which direction is drone facing in flight when at some distance. It also helps to see drone a little further in the sky at day.Did not try them at night, but seeing how powerful are the lighting, it surely brights clear in the sky and does what it is supposed to do : anti-collision strobe light.

It’s a very bright strobe, I found these small lithium batteries don’t last, but I brought this almost a year ago and no problems, highly recommend!
